Does the x86 version of Darwin have a boot loader that allows it to Dual-Boot between Darwin UNIX and Windows?

If it uses LILO or GRUB, it can dual boot.

There are no good instructions or manuals, its a more of a "fly by the seat of your pants" thing, and it doesn't look like it comes with a good boot loader like LILO or GRUB

Lemme rephrase my question...

Does it have a boot loader like LILO (even though I thought it was called the LInux LOader) or GRUB?

I don't see it in the source tree.

But then again, there is GNU-Darwin, and OpenDarwin. Hell, I don't know if either one has a boot loader.
