Well, it shouldn't surprise me, knowing MS and their quirky ways of 
doing things. Anyways, it all works now. It seems I have two operating 
systems labeled '???' and 'Drive 1' if the boot screen is anything to go 
by. I kinda like that. Keeps people in the dark. ;-)

I haven't found GAG in the ports. Has it not been added or have I just 
not found it? I assume the source tarball off of SourceForge builds, 
since people are running it, but it'd be so much cleaner if it existed 
as a port.
