- BOOT LOADER INFORMATION:
-
- Licensing of the boot loader code which came with BootEasy:
-
- The bootloader code that I used was written by Serge Vakulenko. I found
- his BootEasy program in a distribution of FreeBSD. There was no licensing
- information that came along with the program; but, since the program
- is with a FreeBSD distribution, it is logical to assume that it has at
- least the license that FreeBSD has. This would enable me to re-use, modify,
- and re-distribute his code at my convienience.
-
- I also tried unsuccessfully to contact the author to confirm the licensing.
-
- In conclusion, I am proceeding under the assumption that the license is a
- FreeBSD license and using the BootEasy boot loader code as a replacement
- for the MS-DOS boot loader code. For more information on FreeBSD licensing,
- please go to http://www.freebsd.org
-
- Brief bootloader instructions:
-
- When booting the PC with the BootEasy bootloader, you will get a screen
- that lists the function key to press next to the operating system to boot.
- Just hit the function key next to the desired installed operating system.
- After you have booted the first time, the bootloader will wait for user
- intervention for about 5 seconds; then, it will boot to the last operating
- system that was booted. The BootEasy bootloader will allow booting to
- multiple operating systems.
