Also .... could it react if *any* key is pressed?  There's tons of keys that
are used for bootloader or bios (which to the end user is pretty similar)
I've personally seen [ESC] [F1] [F2] [F3] [F5] [F11] [F12] [DEL] [HOME]
[Ctrl] and even [b].

Making it go to a menu if any key is pressed makes one thing less of a
mess to discover.
