Root Dual Boot HBOOT, is it possible?

The title just about says it all, but allow me to elaborate. I'm running Mobster ROM right now, and it's nice and smooth, woohoo. Despite that, Jelly Bean is just a tad bit smoother. In the past I've been able to get a successful boot with Team DIRT's version of Jelly Bean (of course I needed to flash the Ice Cream Sandwich GApps, but that's another story).

Now JMZ recently came out with a new kernel that helps the whole smoothness factor just a little bit more.

The problem:
JMZ's kernel only works with a newer HBOOT.

So would it be possible to dual boot Jelly Bean (with HBOOT 1.04) and Mobster ROM with JMZ's kernel (with Juoponut HBOOT)? Or is that physically not possible. Or on a seperate note, could you make it so that with one boot in the dual boot it had HBOOT X and with the other have HBOOT Y?

I understand that this is a trivial problem because I could just switch to the power kernel and alleviate all of my problems, but this might not be the case later on... So my question stands, is it possible?

Click to expand...

in short, no. thats not possible. but possibly what is, is if you use TWRP, that has command line access. So you could just rename the zip for flashing hboot. Thats if you want to go through that much trouble
 
Why not while on mobster just flash jp hboot, flash jmz kernal, and boot back into mobster? That's my plan on midnight.
