So, does this mean I could potentially have a refind like bootloader where I select boot disks through some sort of "warp zone"?
The Warp Zone, of course, boots OS/2.

Beat the game to turn on your PC
if you lose the game all your files get erased cf. Kojima's original plan for "Metal Gear Solid", where if you died the game would stop working permanently

that's the point.
I thought it was the opposite of the point, that modern BIOSes had evolved to make this possible, but I think a non-modern legacy BIOS would work just as well. :)
if you are on the bios level you can do anything. But the bare bones nature of old BIOS plus the space limitation of them would make this very difficult.
Now that EFI on the cheapest Staples' laptop is 10x more capable then the most expensive personal computer of 1999, this is not only possible but easy and helped by ton of EFI libraries.
