Adam and Chris, Thank you, you both are on the solution if it works.

rEFIt at refit.sourceforge.net was one of the solutions that looked
promising, only with FreeBSD. I will try this.

Anyone interested, feel free to contact me off-list on progress or  
especially
if interested in cooperative discovery on whether this will work or not.

Thanks again for the responses.
