wic command, partitioned image, multiple boot loader entries

wic command, partitioned image, multiple boot loader entries

I'm using wic to create an EFI bootable "multi rootfs" image.  This image has two different Linux OS configurations, each in their own partition of course.  I have been able to successfully create and boot the final wic image.  The question I have is how to I create more than one .conf file in the /loader/entries folder of the boot partition.  By default wic is only  creating only one entry (boot.conf) but I need to have two unique .conf files, one for each Linux OS partition that I want to boot from.  Unless someone knows another way.

I should add the following information:

- The UEFI boot manager used by my image is systemd-boot
- The version of wic being used is 0.2.0
- The version of Yocto Project is 2.2 (Morty)
- My hardware architecture is x86

According to the documentation on " systemd-boot" boot manager, each .conf entry in the /loader/entries directory represents one boot option / configuration.  So I am wanting to know, how do I setup my kickstart file or the configuration file specified after parameter "--configfile" in the kickstart file, to create more than one .conf file in the /loader/entries directory.
