Enabling Client MultiBoot

Neoware Image Manager provides a MultiBoot feature. When two
or more bootable volumes are associated with a client, the client will
display the descriptions of these volumes so that the user can select
the one to boot from. If no selection is made within 10 seconds, the
client will boot using the default volume.
The names of the boot volumes are specified together with any other
volumes using the parameter

<group_name>
belongs to. This is followed by a comma-delimited list of volume
names. For example:
AsusGroup.vols=WinXP, Win2K
