GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) seems to do a good job of figuring this out.
It's also a very nice boot mechanism! Barring unforeseen issues, I expect
the next release of VSTa to use GRUB (and Multiboot format) as its boot
mechanism. This also dovetails with the fact that DOS is fading fast, and
while VSTa's boot mechanism works from within Windows 95, it slows down the
VSTa boot time a LOT. Native boot capability is really called for at this
point.
