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.
