Just for neatness really - if it knows it's not bootable then there's no
point in trying.

I have CD-ROM as my first boot choice in the BIOS on my PC.  If there's a
regular data CD in it it'll continue on to boot C, but if it spots a
bootable CD it'll give me 5 seconds to press a key to allow me to boot from
it.  I just liked that kind of smarter idea, especially if it's little work
to implement.

I sometimes leave data disks in drive 1 when I quit, so they're present when
I start up again.  With the autoboot option enabled (assuming it _should_ be
a persistent option) it'll just mean it's ignored.
