I installed Haiku on my Windows 7 machine. How do I create a boot menu?

I just installed Haiku on my Windows 7 laptop, and I don't know how to create a boot menu. I had BeOS running a few years ago, and that came with one built-in. I know my way around computers enough to mess around with partitions and whatnot, but my recent Googling has made me believe that boot menu stuff is over my head. Is there a simple solution, or can somebody walk me through the process so I don't have to boot from the CD?

"Well, you could get a copy of a linux distribution and begin the installation but only install the bootloader, GRUB.

You'd have to know which partitions you need for what OS though. Make sure you thoroughly read the docs for whatever you're downloading so that you can stop the install process before installing the OS.

Let us know if you want more details with a particular distribution."
