Given the mess boot input and display are on a lot of systems, any
keypress should pause the boot and display boot options (including
editing the boot CLI).

Otherwise you end up in keypress & display timing hell (not to mention
that non-qwerty users have the additional hurdle of guessing where keys
are mapped, which is why using anything except escape/space and
function keys will break hard in the field).
