Can you increase the comBIOS Ctrl-P "BootDelay" option to the maximum 16 seconds ? Does that make any kind of difference ? http://wiki.soekris.info/What_do_all_those_BIOS_settings_do%3F Come to think about it, it does a storage bus scan before the BootDelay kicks in (as it print the device information at the top), so maybe an additional parameter should be added to comBIOS to delay the storage scan after power on, with 0 being the default (meaning no delay) and upto 15 seconds the maximum. Which will count down or need an explicit Ctrl-C to abort early (rather than any-key since people tend to press <CR> and <SP> to make something happen and that shouldn't interrupt it).
