Imagine OS X's Startup Disk utility, but for Mac OS instead, and much
better.

This is what this is. For simple things, the built-in Startup Disk
control panel will do, but if you want bigger icons, or that OS-X-like
arrangement, you can give this a spin.

This also allows you to use OF commands, save OF files, and for OS X
you can even set command-line arguments for boot options (-v for
verbose boot, for example).

This utility kicks ass, and was made by Apple, and hidden inside
Rhapsody / Mac OS X Server 1.x discs. Why this isn't so well-traveled
by now, I do not know. But here it is, also easily accessible in the
Garden now.

Thanks to @zefrenchtoon at MacOS9Lives! for showing it!
