I need some Boot Management software to multi-boot my works' system.

I have 2 x caddy drives - 1 with Win2k on it, the other with Redhat 8

I used to swap between the 2 as and when I decided.

Ideally (as I'm a lazy git) I'd like some kind of boot management software..... and would be even better if it was on a floppy disk that wouldn't affect either boot sector.

Is what I'm saying making sense to anyone? If so, are there any pointers?

Not tried searching Google before posting? There are loads, System Commander is one that springs to mind, not to mention Grub, LILO, etc.
