It's a fairly obvious user interface. If you don't know what to choose,
press ESC.
Is that a feature that users use/expect? 1.5

If the menu key is ESC, do not restart boot unless
1.5 seconds have passed. Otherwise users (trained by years of
repeatedly hitting keys to enter the BIOS) will end up hitting ESC

Patch 1 applies a small improvement to user experience, as suggested

On some platforms, F12 may be hard to access; for example, on OS X
machines F9-F12 have been intercepted by the OS for a long time, and
on newer OS X releases function keys are basically gone for good.
Which keys are and are not available depends on the client, not on
the server, but only function
