If SeaBIOS only detects one device, it makes no difference if the boot
menu is shown and the user only can select that found device, or the
system booting into that by default.
The only difference is, the user could power off the system during the
time the boot menu is shown. But, without changing the configuration,
the current state can’t be altered.
So, default to skipping the menu, if only one device is found, as that
is what benefits the most users.

| boot-menu-message | Customize the text boot menu message. Normally, when
in text mode SeaBIOS will report the string "\\nPress ESC for boot
menu.\\n\\n". This field allows the string to be changed. (This is a string
field, and is added as a file containing the raw string.)
| boot-menu-key | Controls which key activates the boot menu. The value
stored is the DOS scan code (eg, 0x86 for F12, 0x01 for Esc). If this field is
set, be sure to also customize the **boot-menu-message** field above.
| boot-menu-wait | Amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait at the boot
menu prompt before selecting the default boot.
