Not currently unless you hardcode a specific partition in /boot.config. (You
may need a patch from jhay@ to fix the parsing of that file though.) I
believe someone (can't recall who) has some changes in a p4 branch to extend
gptboot to support a fancier interface with a menu of possible partitions,
etc.
