I've taken a stab at implementing this with Debian. It's been done with Ubuntu but I was unable to determine what I needed to do to accomplish this with Debian. I wonder if your approach would make that possible. > * Multiboot installations on the Pi become possible. > I'm also interested in this. I've started work on this at https://github.com/HankB/pmb which is a brute force approach, swapping the contents of the /firmware/boot partition between installations that reside in other partitions on the media. Other stuff has bubbled to the top of my priority list and I have not worked on this in a while but perhaps it might be of use to you or give you some ideas. I think that it's a worse kludge than your suggestions and should be nowhere near tha Debian repos, let alone upstream. best, -- Beautiful Sunny Winfield
