I have to disagree. I like the keypress just fine. You have time to read 
it, no chance of missing it if you weren't watching the boot sequence. And 
much less annoying than a 10s wait if you're unable or unwilling to fix 
the problem. That you have to press a key might not be 100% obvious, but 
it's still fairly obvious IMO: I mean what else would you think of doing, 
wouldn't you eventually try that?
