I think in this context it means having two different operating systems on
one computer, and you can choose which one you want to boot.  For instance,
I have a dual-booting set up on my PC, I can choose Windows or Linux when I
start it up.

I think I might have also heard people use "dual-boot" to describe some Mac
models that can boot into OS 9 or OS X, to differentiate them from the
newest Macs that can only boot OS X, and can only run OS 9 apps in Classic
(not always as compatible as truly booting the computer in OS 9.)
