This item is mostly for developement and patches to img
files, but none-the-less it's important for pre-testing.

Add menu item to boot an image from another drive.
2nd menu selects what device
fd0 fd1 hda0 hda1 hdb0 hdb1 etc..
3rd menu selects pre-named file within 'boot_img' folder
image1.img
image2.img
image3.img
image4.img
image5.img
image6.img
image7.img
image8.img
image9.img
(assume all *.img files are 2.88 meg during dev stage)

    Also doubtful. I don't think this will happen on the
    grounds that CDShell doesn't seem to support it, at least
    not yet. I emailed Mike of CDShell and proposed such an
    idea -- or at lest the idea of reading other CD-ROM or RW
    drives when the system boots. It's a long story.;) I'd
    copy and paste it here but not important enough.;)

    You may want to think about purchasing VMware for doing
    pre-testing. I'm a mobile computer tech, and therefore make
    a lot of boot disks with tools on them. I've found VMware
    invaluable in testing customized UBCD disks and other
    bootable disks without making dozens (hundreds?) of
    coasters. Of course the only drawback from your suggestion
    is that my way you have to make up an *.ISO image every
    time you make a mistake - but on my setup that's much
    faster than actually burning a CD.
