Comment(by laplace):

 For your use case it would be even better to boot into the default
 partition without any delay.


 After turning on the machine, keeping the ALT key pressed would then open
 the boot menu. Drawback is you have to remember the key to activate the
 boot menu. So a "Wait 1 second" option is maybe useful too.


 Anyway I would also like to get rid off the "Wait 5 and 10 second" options
 and replace it with "Wait 1 minute".


 My suggestion for the options would be:[[BR]]
 {{{
 - Do not wait (keep ALT key pressed to open boot menu)
 - Wait indefinitely
 - Wait one second
 - Wait five seconds
 - Wait one minute
 }}}

 BTW suggestions for proper wording of the options is welcome.
