The firmware setup is something hw specific, and usually something like
F12. But in our boot loader we could just pick any random key and show the boot
menu if we notice that key is pressed while we go through the boot
menu. That random key could be shift, or space or enter, or esc, or F8,
or Shift+F8, or whatever.
