Did you mean the ISO selection logic in register_cd (which I'm not aware
of)? If so, forget my patch[1]. My previous attempts to use multiple ISOs
had been failed, probably for unrelated reasons. I'll make a new test and
let you know.
[1] The only sane reason to keep this patch could be that a netinst or a
full CD ISO could be selected. But this is not my original intention in
the first place and I'm unsure whether it deserves to populate boot options
with a new variable.
