Get the GAG bootloader, it's free, really easy to use and you can install it 
from ports or from many linux live CDs.

What's really nice about it, is that it's all menu driven, and the complete 
setup menu is accessible from the boot screen. So a year from now you can 
tweak the boot delay or add a new OS without the risk of screwing up.
