Hi:

i've set up a quad boot system with BSD's installed
in the following order
  FreeBSD
  DragonFlyBSD
  OpenBSD
  NetBSD
At boot time, the current display is shown as
  . FreeBSD
  . FreeBSD
  . BSD
  . BSD
i'd like to create a custom boot menu, which shows their
respective names. Any suggestions or pointers ?

First, congratulations for managing to get all four BSD's installed on a 
single system! It isn't that easy.

The code that prints the menu you are seeing is crammed into 512 bytes 
(actually less). There's simply no space for more functionality.

NetBSD can show a richer menu, including names picked by you. See mbr(8).
