   What does it matter if you understand anybody elses desire to multi-boot
or not? But let me give you a few uses anyway:
1) A backup installation in case you break your normal one.
2) Regression testing. I have an unmodified andy-tracking kernel installed
   in addition to the one I'm hacking on and normally use. So if something
   is broken I can check if it was broken before I started hacking too. And
   btw, Qi doesn't let me select between multiple kernels for the same
   rootfs, does it?

   There are more iPhone users than Freerunner users. What was your point
