If this could be applied, without the use of a menu...

Not quite with you here...

How would you like to select which DOS to use?

Custom boot-loader that doesn't load DOS/PRODOS in the
first place?

I mean, the boot loader would work like ProDOS, looking for a certain file and running it.

So you mean a small ProDOS based menu program, like the graphic
DOS3.3 based one on the weirdosm image?

Text based ASM selector program would be pretty easy.

Any reason why it has to be prodos based?

No, I mean, with a fixed filename in the loader, like the ProDOS bootstrap - so while it may take more space as a bootable disk, you can make a non-bootable disk, and have more space, and just add a file to make it bootable.

The weirdosm image happens to have a menu, but that's irrelevant to my idea.
