He daniel, erik and others, Daniel, perhaps you are right, sounds logic but, why if you need to choice an option at startup with the arrow keys (without vo-support)? e.g if you want to install linux/windows on a external partition or you want to boot a linux live-cd? I don't know if this kind of boot options have also letters that you can press after startup and if they don't have, working with the arrow-keys without vo is very uncomfortable.
Erik, about your option, I am not shore if they will think about this because , this is not necessary for sighted users I think. Only , it makes in perhaps more comfortable since they haven't to stay next the mac and wait until it is rebooted to press the letter but this seems not a big advantage I think. Another thing is that that kind of options are already available to make it more comfortable to install a mac over a network. This is perhaps a option in macosx server.
