What you need is a boot loader. GRUB is the default boot loader, and is
easy enough to install. Boot into Linux and as root, type
'/sbin/grub-install'. Grub's config file is /etc/grub.conf (if not, try
/etc/grub/grub.conf), which allows you to change settings. This should
install GRUB for you. If GRUB fails to recognize all of your bootable
OSes, look up docs on Grub at http://www.google.com/linux. It might
help us if you could provide your hardrive setup as well (which
partition is where).
Hope this helps,
Dan
