I think it would make good sense to have a tastefully typeset screen
that displays for a few seconds at boot that alerts the user to this
feature, similar to the chkdsk warning in Ubuntu. The only people that
are really going to know about this otherwise are BeOS refugees.
A few seconds of waiting for a keypress is likely to increase the boot
time of haiku by 50% on some machines. That's not a really good solution.
Ubuntu allows you to cancel the check while it is infact already
running, something that's harder to do with accesing a boot menu.
Windows requires you to press F8 to access failsafe mode and some other
boot settings, and it's not visible anywhere. They have, however, a menu
that show up automatically when the last boot attempt failed. But I
never heard of anyone asking for a big 'press F8 for options' onWindows
splash screen...
