[haiku-development] Re: Press Space for Boot Options in Bootloader

Well, as was mentioned here, Windows and OS X don't have their boot menu
options in the bootloader. The reasons are obvious though, where Windows
covers most known hardware, and OS X is meant to only run on specific
hardware - the likelihood of hardware failure on these systems is minimal.

In the event there is a failure on Windows, you do get notified on the next
boot and get prompted with a more advanced screen.

So, until Haiku has something like Windows, it would be nice to implement
something like the initial suggestion (perhaps only on CD builds); like
Ubuntu does, where hardware failure is probably statistically more
probable.
