Hmm, I wonder if there are some "special" characters that aren't handled
right? I've found in the past that SCPM doesn't seem to like anything
other than alphanumerics in profile names.
I'm using SCPM on 10.2 with five different profiles, and boot-time
switching with F3 is working for me. So it's not broken in general.
There must be some subtle bug keeping it from working for some people.

Well, when I look at the /var/lib/scpm/profiles/ directory I see three
subdirectories and they are all lower case alpanumeric characters,
default, home, and work.
It is very strange that I can only get it to work from the command
line after booting the machine.
I even tried to select the default after being in the profile work,
but it still boots the last profile that I was actively in.
I noticed this error in /var/log/scpm

I googled for it and found one bugzilla report regarding the same
problem that I am having, but it was not resolved and seemed to go to
a dead end.
