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 :).
