Ah, good point. In fact, my home machine does have more than one, a
which gets executed depends on which drive is currently the boot drive.
And more, they have different contents.

No, I'm not aware of any API.

I suspect you'll need to know which partition is the bootable one, and
then you go look at that. I'd expect Andrue Cope to know most about
this.
