Lest you think the team at OnMac.net (you
know, the crowd that brought us
the original Windows-on-Mac
bootloader) would pack it in now that Apple has moved into their turf with
Boot Camp, they've come back with a new hack that allows
Boot Camp to be used to triple boot your Mac. That's right: no longer are you limited to a mere two operating systems
when you start your Mac. Now, you can have a choice of OS X, Windows XP and the Linux distro of your choice (they went
with gentoo). Their solution for this turns out to be fairly straightforward: rather than attempting to hack Boot Camp,
they've chained the lilo bootloader to run off of the Windows loader. So, Boot Camp still shows you just two options --
OS X and Windows XP -- but if you choose Windows, you then get a second set of choices, which lets you pick Linux or
XP. Now that this is done, we're waiting for someone to go to four: we really want to be able to boot into OS/2 Warp,
and we suspect the solution is just around the corner.
