[image] Fail "imgexec"/"boot" if the image to execute is ambiguous
If there is more than one loaded image, refuse to automatically select the image to execute. There are at least two possible cases, with different "correct" answers: 1. User loads image A by mistake, then loads image B and types "boot". User wants to execute image B. 2. User loads image A, then loads image B (which patches image A), then types "boot". User wants to execute image A. If a user actually wants to load multiple images, they must explicitly specify which image is to be executed.
