New description:
r37444. This enhancement will add some more intelligent logic for
selecting the partitions that the user will actually want to boot.
Currently, bootman will select all partitions.
With respect to the detected BFS partitions, a sensible default would be
to select only the ones that contain {{{ system/haiku_loader }}} or {{{
beos/system/zbeos }}}.
For non-BFS volumes, I guess they could default to selected.

Comment (by mmadia):
I reworded the ticket. Basically the list of partitions would remain the
same. This enhancement would simply un-check BFS volumes that don't
contain Haiku/BeOS/Zeta. The user would still be able to check them in the
odd-case of running bootman prior to Installer.
