This question of Darrens came out of a discussion we had on IRC regarding dual booting.
We were wondering whether or not the 'Early Startup Menu' (if present) could be used to select which device/partition to boot from as on the original Amiga. Simply to avoid the hassles of bootloaders, which are a pain in the arse IMO.
It's not about how it *looks*, whether it's a grey screen with Topaz or not, it is simply a question of being able to select the boot device (or partition) in an easy way, something which all computers should be able to do if you ask me.
