It's a pain to attempt to auto-generate the message. If someone is updating flash with a CBFS file for the key, I don't think it is too hard to also update CBFS with the desired message. Also, if one uses a bootsplash image, then boot-menu-message isn't seen anyway (in that case the boot key message needs to be encoded into the bootsplash graphics if it is desired). FYI, the boot-menu-key / boot-menu-message files aren't new. They were used in the past to change to ESC on several machines. The only recent change is using ESC as the default. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
