Thanks for that Joseph, its a quicker option than what I have atm
but would still like to get the menu based option to work so
if anyone has any ideas please do shout.

If you are looking for a way to manage i386/amd64 dual
booting, the you can just interrupt the boot sequence at the 
boot: prompt and then load /boot/loader itself from the 
appropriate root partition.  You can specify a 'default'
in file /boot.config in the disk's 'a' partition.

Using FORTH would allow for a nice menu though :).
