Sorry if I have double-posted this... The link to "multiboot" seems to refer to a conventional dual-boot installation, where the two OSs are on the same disc. If the OSs were installed n physically separate (internal) drives, would this mitigate the risk (accepting that /boot would be exposed)?
Probably a naive idea, but is it possible to somhow "switch off" or inactivate one disc (short of physically removing it)?
