I was wondering...

If there is any custom mod, or any device, to power up pc, and automatically
boot the partition u want! For example, i power it up with button 1, i have gentoo
button 2, mandrake, etc etc

little crazy heh? but would be nice!

Well, not the partition, but close. If you use 3 seperate hard drives like I do, a TRIOS hard drive selector will work. You hit the button for the corresponding drive, and it boots from that one, your computer never even sees the other hard drives. It's not perfect, but it certainly solves the problems with 1 os ruining another. Allows me to use Libranet, Gentoo(if i ever get it working), and drake9beta (previously winxp) without mucking up any of their individual boot loaders, or partitions.
And 20 GB hard drives are cheap, a trios and 3 20's doesn't set you back too overly much.

Trios homepage (http://www.romtecusa.com/)

They ship outside the US. Don't know how much it would be, but if you're interested, you can check it out.

Ummm thx, it is 60$ without shipping... i guess i will have to live with the 6 sec wait :D

I actually dont have a problem with the money, but its kinda useless :)
