I forgot to mention the cool part about CoLo. Like grub, it's got a
simple menu system, but this one is aware of the LCD, so you can
basically write a short menu to let you choose between booting Debian
and NetBSD (or whatever) right from the LCD panel. This will be handy
for the 2700 since it lacks a serial port.
