That article uses FreeBSD drives /dev/wd0 and /dev/wd1 and refers to
OS/2 and Windows 95. Those are all dead, although one is a zombie.
Times have left that article behind. A usable multi-boot article for
today would start with how VM software is easier, simpler, safer, and
more versatile. If the user insists on multi-boot, subjects that are
important now are grub, GPT versus MBR, extended MBR partitions, and
EasyBCD.
