Some extra info for http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Multibooting

Specifically for the Win7 part.

The Vista section (I've never used Vista and I've never been close
enough to read the screen on a vbox) mentions needing admin privs to do
some of the process.

Win7 section doesn't say so and could be problematic for someone who
will discover it when trying to do it.

Furthermore just being an admin doesn't cut it. I found that out ages
ago and re-learned it today 8-)

It would be nice to tell people that they need to select the command
prompt in the program list and right click to choose "Run as
administrator" to get a window that will allow one to run the lines
found in the FAQ.

Having done it all before, but way back when 7 was new, I printed out
the section and put it on my test bench with a new Lenovo 320.

When I was done I rebooted and didn't get a chance to select my OpenBSD
5.1 beta. I rebooted a few times before I spotted it for a milisecond
and blamed the Lenovo fast start deal. So I played with that but to no
avail.

Finally I found out that bcdedit with no commands prints out the state
of play and sure enough timeout was set to 0.

We just need one more command in the FAQ:

C:\Windows\system32> bcdedit /timeout 30

and people can vary that to suit themselves but 30 seconds was the
default (IIRC) in XP.

Maybe this will aid some newbies and keep 'em from crying on misc@ 
8-))

This life is not the real thing.
It is not even in Beta.
If it was, then OpenBSD would already have a man page for it.
