I didn't say it was perfect only good enough for building a cluster of test machines. As for your problem there is also the clear cmos jumper :) Bugs in fallback happen and they suck. But for 90%+ of testing the fallback/normal works. For building a cluster of test machines I believe that is a lot more doable.
