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.
