Hi, for now I am doing this every time (but I also do not
reboot too often).
GRUB has a curses-like based menu thing where you
can specify what to boot and how. You have to
set the config file during the compilation. And then
compile, and then build the floppy with that or install
on to the MBR. And I have not done that yet.
