..of these, we have 2 archs, amd64 and i386, both with cd-1, cd-2 and
cd-3 (which I didn't DL), which could be set up with 3 different boot
loaders to help people with cranky hard hardware get their hardware
going with one of the alternative boot loaders, if the default one
fails for them.  

..then chainloading into e.g. another version grub with better support 
for said cranky (old or new experimental prototype etc) hard hardware,
makes life easier for such tinkerers, vendors etc and promotes us as 
the go-to distro. ;o)

..I believe Debian did this in the sarge, lenny and wheezy era, are we
doing this now?  If we do this, we should mention the fact these handy
boot loader tricks are possible and which cd has which bootloader and
point people to a wee how-to.

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
