And that means sharing one ESP means sharing /boot - yeah. Hmm. I'll
have to test it but I'm pretty sure it's a fairly simple post-install
fix to get that to work. I'm not totally certain how blscfg.mod parses
/boot/loader/entries containing bls snippets with two machine IDs.

Ohhhh I just thought of something. F32 and older depend on grubenv to
store part of the kernel command line variables. So I think it will be
necessary to do an F32 F33 side by side install for it to work. Two
F32's side by side will compete over the single grubenv.
