Gujin
Gujin boots a PC and analyzes its hardware configuration (BIOSs and IDE hard disk, CDROM, DVD, video card and other devices) and its partitions/filesystems (FAT12/16/32, E2/3FS, ISO9660).
It then asks the user to select the way to continue booting (Linux kernel, BSD or Windows partitions, or chain boot a MBR of a simulated floppy) using a graphical menu with interaction provided by the mouse and/or the keyboard.
It can be installed on a floppy, CDROM, in a Hard Disk partition or at the end of a Hard Disk, in an area protected by the IDE command SET HMA (reducing the visible size of the hard disk).
Gujin can also start from DOS (boot.exe), and its menu system can be removed at compilation to produce a tiny executable (tiny.exe). It is written in C with GCC, and execute fully in real mode to be as compatible as possible (network redirectors, extended memory managers, USB stacks and BIOS power saving work as expected).
