} Yes, the bootloader is shared. So if we built an x86 CD with both the 
} amd64 and i386 sets, you could use the menu to select between the two
} inst kernels and hence the different sets.

     Even nicer might be one inst kernel that could install either, but
that would require changes to sysinst.
