Hi All,
Just couple of questions please:

-Do you know a multi-booter software (doesn't matter if it's commercial)

partitions that are
on the same hard drive?

extipl. It's in the ports.

-Can Free BSD (as it's possible with Linux) be booted (off whatever

Yes.

-Can Free BSD be installed on a 3rd, 4th partition of a hard drive?

Yes.

By the way... It's neither "Free BSD" nor "Free BSD", but "FreeBSD".
