I disagree entirely, the boot loader knows nothing of kernels, it only
presents the bootable drives/partitions as the BIOS sees it. Calling
the boot loader a kernel selection menu is disingenuous, since this is
simply a by-product of having different kernels on different
drives/partitions, whilst the most commonly desired kernel selection
(kernel vs kernel.old) is not available via this method.
