Dual boot systemd-boot entry #13

Open nixpulvis opened 6 years ago

It would be nice to support a flag for installing a set of Windows or other OSs to boot.

Even more critical than Windows is simply the ability to side/chain load another arch install.

This is motivated largely because my Thinkpad cannot boot directly from it's SD card reader for whatever reason.

the goal is to allow the main boot partition (ESP) to boot multiple destinations, each running their own kernels.

The default install.sh should assume it's making a fresh boot partition, but there should be a new option for using an existing boot. Reinstalling to a device which has the bootloader for multiple systems should ideally preserve the other system's boot entry... This means we can no longer just blindly format the whole device I guess...

Once I have the requirements more nailed down, I'll try to update the description.
