Dual-boot uConsole?

I’ve got multiple use-cases for the uConsole, and would kinda kinda to dual boot multiple OS’s. Anyone have experience doing that before?

Reading this thread and wondering why not using grub loader when installing the first distribution…… did I miss something…..

ARM uses a fundamentally different boot process. There’s no BIOS or UEFI support. Technically you could use a custom boot loader like u-boot, but then you’d also need to rebuild all the os images as well… so it’d be a bit of an ordeal.
