I considered LILO, but considering my main focus for the next few months will be on Windows2000 and the new .NET (in school, plus taking the MCSA/MCSE track), so I figured it would be more beneficial to me to attempt to use boot.ini instead.

Besides, from what I've seen, it seems like using LILO would've been easier...I'd prefer the more difficult route anyway...maybe I'll try using whatever FreeBSD's method is to boot them all later (once I learn enough about it anyway).
