I've not even tried to address this situation.
So right now I'm just asking if others have
come up with ways of handling it.

I have two systems that multi-boot, i.e. let
me pick which OS to boot into.  For example,
my laptop has W2K, Solaris 9, and Fedora.
And 'lucifer', my newest one is a try anything
platform, and currently has 5 different OS's.

Currently, I select one OS from each multi-boot
computer and do enter that into the disklist.
But only if that is the one booted does it
succeed.

I guess I could enter all the possibilities
and let things fail or succeed as they might.
But any other brainstorming ideas?
