This is more in hope than expectation! We are trying to set up our machines to boot either Nextstep (our current OS) or Win NT (new OS). Does anyone out there know how to do this? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.<br>

I don't know much (anything) about next step, but I know NT. I assume you are installing NT inanother partition. If NT can write to the nextstep partition then it would just be a matter of setting the boot.ini to have a option to point to the nextstep boot loader. If this dosent work the only thing I can think of is that you install NT in another partition and use a util to change the active partition to decide what boots. Hope this helps
 
Thanks for the suggestions but in the end it was simple - Nextstep has it's own boot manager which handles Next / WinNT just fine.
