BTW, I am currently testing a set of patches to boot2 written by
Thomas Quinot after we discussed the matter, adding a '-n' option
to boot2 to ignore keypresses (and doing some code cleanup at the
same time). It is meant for 'secure' setups where you want to stop
anyone at the console from diverting the boot process, and it would
be sooo handy to have that in the stock installation...

I'll send the patches for review once I have tested these.
