With Qi its possible to put different systems on different partitions on 
the SD drive.

Also it supports control files to skip partition on boot.
Only way to change bootable partition on a boot time with Qi is to keep 
AUX button after power on - it will boot from internal flash then. 
Otherwise you may use control files on different partition to choose 
which OS to boot. See Qi wiki for more details.
