But MBR is where things like booteasy and grub also live??
So that functionality is lost. Or is boot0 called by booteasy/grub?
If not then this does not fullfill the requirements that I want a
selector at start time.
And it is not very clear to me that this would allow me to boot
win 2k and/or win 64XP.

Next to having tried it superfluously, and not getting it to work.
It kept getting to booteasy. But that very well could be pilot error
since I did not spent too much time on it
