Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
On armel platforms, side-by-side installation should only be available in advanced partitioning menu as there is no user interactive bootloader at this time. Users that install side-by-side need to either have multiple different SD cards per kernel & image (babbage3), or have a serial port console monitor along with uboot know-how to boot different images from the same physical drive (dove). Both of these methods should not be available to the casual user, especially as a default option.
