Hmmm, not much difference in bootloaders on the surface

The startup screens between builds are pretty different! I kind of wish Apple had gone with the DR1 look for OS X Server.

Installations are pretty similar across builds, though DR2 adds an additional page Mach terminal stage of the setup.

There is not too much difference between the driver config, save DR1.

Those OOBEs! 4.2 and DR1 are based on NeXTStep, but DR2 is a port of the assistant utility from MacOS 8.5.

@melodymayhem Yeah, #NeXTstep really helped pave the way to #MacOSX and now #macOS...

@kkarhan don't forget the whole smorgasbord of Apple OSes!
