I received many requests for the BOOTMENU and PFDISK distribution,
so I've mailed the latest version (1.3) to the comp.sources.misc
moderator. The posting (2 parts) should appear there soon.
For those who have just tuned in:
BOOTMENU is a replacement primary boot sector for MS-DOS compatible
machines which allows boot-time selection of the active hard disk
partition using a menu. For example, users with both UNIX and DOS
on their hard disk can choose which system to use at boot time.
PFDISK is a replacement "fdisk" command for
installing BOOTMENU without clobbering your partition table.

My apologies to those who have been patiently waiting for my
BOOTMENU distribution to appear on comp.sources.misc as promised.
I have recently been informed that comp.sources.misc may be
without a moderator and that nothing is getting posted.
I have just mailed the package off to the moderator of the
comp.sources.unix newsgroup. Hopefully, this time it will appear!
Thank you everyone for your patience.
A brief description of the BOOTMENU package is included below
for the benefit of those who missed the earlier announcement.
BOOTMENU is a replacement primary boot sector for MS-DOS compatible
machines which allows boot-time selection of the active hard disk
partition using a menu. For example, users with both UNIX and DOS
on their hard disk can choose which system to use at boot time.
PFDISK is a replacement "fdisk" command for
installing BOOTMENU without clobbering your partition table.
Note that an earlier version of this package has been posted previously,
but described as "boot-hdp." Forgive me for renaming it, but I thought
it would be helpful to use the more descriptive name "bootmenu."
