  I have a program that I got from one of the servers on Bitnet, that
replaces the boot track of the hard-drive with a program that reads the
partition table, and then prompts you for which you want to boot from
(actually it finds the first DOS bootable, and Xenix bootable, but I am
sure that someone who knows about how the table is setup could modify it
appropriately).  It is written in assembler, and if people are interested,
when I get my harddrive working again (it died last week), I can post it.
