There's More Than One Way (TM) :-) I used the etherboot menuing facility in one setup, offering to either load the LTSP kernel via network or start from the local hard drive (later I programmed a small customer-specific graphic menu program which is still in use there). With any recent version of etherboot this could be done with the standard boot question (N)etwork or (L)ocal - of course you'd need an etherboot ROM or etherboot patched into the BIOS to make use of this, as it has to do with BIOS boot order. However specifying /dev/hda as boot filename worked fine for me. In case you use PXE with pxelinux, you could adapt the PXE options file to include a second entry for the local harddrive (details to be taken from http://syslinux.zytor.com/) and require your users to type "win" or "lin" or similar. Then there's always the option to use a CONFIG.SYS style menu and etherboot in a .COM incarnation to boot your machine - if you have neither PXE nor a ROM chip (burner). Those DOS menus should be documented in the web quite well.
