There was so much to choose from, it wasn't at all like the NetBSD or OpenBSD
1-2-3-4-5 installer, where you are prompted with questions. It's a bit more
open-ended, user-driven, IIRC.

People often ask me how to do double boots or how to install boot selectors. I
have no idea, I've never run more than one OS per machine. If I need another
OS, I pick out another machine or another drive.
