we could even make a boot partition, like Linux, etc. on the PC.  It 
doesn't matter.  I, personally, would prefer to make a boot manager which 
sits in its own partition.  In fact, I was working on that early in the 
year until my computer crashed then I needed a bigger hard drive then I 
had fall quarter...  Then, put boot information in the partition (BSD) 
itself, not going through the MacOS at all, since we don't really NEED 
to in the first place...

I don't have the IM books, either, but I do have most of the info (trial 
and error), and a fun program called "THINK Reference"...
