no.. the ps3 will start on OFW. all the HV stuff is stored in the NAND/NOR (it depends on which type of ps3 you have), so when you upgrade your ps3, you will upgrade also the HV and then you will not able to load anything different from the new FW.
the new kmeaw fw will boot 3.55 or older fw
the new kmeaw fw will boot 3.55 or older fw
should be able to choose which one loads first

cant be done yet because fimware is flashed to the nand chip and otheros uses the hypervisor to load. if you try to flash two different firmwares onto the nand chip you will blow your efuses and you ps3 will be junk
but if we had a virtual nand that we could wright to but we would have t copy the original nand first to put on the virtual nand

Don't think that it is possible, somebody asked euss, from PS3Crunch (Dukio.com), and here was euss' response
So looking at this, it doesn't seem easy, as in having 1 firmware cfw 3.55, and another one 3.60.
But if we have 1 CFW, 3.55, and 1 OFW 3.55, then that is more possible, but to have another OFW with 3.60 can become complicated.

euss : Oh, and in that explaination I completely ignore the fact of binded devices like the blu-ray, network etc. Otherwise you'll end up with errors like we had in the downgrader days with DRL errors because of timetraveling AACS.
euss : Besides the harddisk, you would also need to make a dualboot for the NOR/NAND + SysCon. Not very likely that someone would even put (the imo useless) effort into that.
*Censored* : It would be cool if somebody made a Dualboot fw like 1 for cfw (offline) an 1 for ofw [online]. its just an idea.

This is a great idea JBerry, i believe they are working on this. We also have to remember this is a very complicated process for our hackers. It wouldn't be a 1...2...3... step done like most of our programs, this might take weeks i suppose we never know. I thank our hackers and if they do make this then i suppose all our hackers would be very satisfied. Thanks for the idea JBerry now if they do successfully make the dual boot option, i would like to add you on PSN!
