1 Funny. This is starting to sound familiar... almost like some other
2 software that runs at boot, every boot. Hm, what was the name...

4 Oh, a *bootloader*! Something that *loads* different *boot* configurations!

6 But seriously. For people that can install a bootloader, is there really
7 any "reconfiguration" needed to reboot into a different init system?
8 Just add configuration items as needed for different init systems. We've
9 never automatically added bootloader options if sys-kernel/* is updated;
10 why start now?

12 For those who are on EFI with direct load of Linux, either install a
13 bootloader or use efibootmgr or similar to add entries into the native
14 boot selector (really another bootloader).
