Grub, Grub2, Lilo have been mentioned. A quick google search brings as result 3: http://gag.sourceforge.net/ GAG (initials, in spanish, of Graphical Boot Manager) is a Boot Manager program. It's loaded when the computer is turned on and allows you to choose the operating system you want to use. up to 9 operating systems, released under the GNU-GPL. Haven't looked at it yet. though result 6 of that search return looks much more interesting to me: http://gujin.sourceforge.net/ freshmeat description: Gujin is a PC boot loader which can analyze your partitions and filesystems. It finds the Linux kernel images available, as well as other bootable partitions (for *BSD, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.), files (*.kgz) and bootable disk images (*.bdi), and displays a graphical menu for selecting which system to boot. Gujin boots Linux kernel using the documented interface, like LILO and GRUB, so it doesn't need any other pre-installed bootloader. It can also directly load gzip'ed ELF32 or ELF64 files, with a simple interface to collect real-mode BIOS data. There is no need to execute anything after making a new kernel: just copy the kernel image file into the "/boot" directory, with a standard name. Gujin is written almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in real mode to be as compatible as possible. requirements: you will need also GCC-4.2.3 and Binutils-2.18 just a couple of other optons that can be concidered.
