Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Shift was introduced because you can hold it from your early bios screen
 and it will not fill the keyboard buffer and lead to a "keyboard error"
 screen from the BIOS.

 When using bootman, selecting the right entry in the menu and pressing
 shift+enter works just fine. This probably works also with GRUB or even
 your BIOS "select boot device" menu.

 Doing it this way I never run into problems. You don't need to spam the
 key, just hold it.
