Well you only need to skip the ones with ext2 / 3 and
/boot/uImage-GTA02.bin in them, I guess there is a limited number of
partitions on your card meeting that description.  If you press AUX
while it is loading the kernel, it will skip that and go on to the next
choice.

FWIW Qi ignores the boot flag in the partition table, not sure if you
mean that or just adding /boot/uImage-gta02.bin

AUX will do the skip action as I say above.  But you have the right
idea, anything more complex should be handled by Linux.
