For example in the Windows world,
the bootloader doesn't show any items and doesn't wait, but *everyone

know that (which also says something about product quality ;)).
That sounds pretty terrible for that simple reason that with many
current BIOSes F8 is used to bring a "choose your boot device" menu
(and that usually includes booting from a network). If that key is
"stolen" that this is a serious breakage. Or you mean that if you
will use that early enough then BIOS will handle it but if you hit
that in a proper moment, not too early and not too late, then
Windows bootloader will interpret that? In such case you are back
to a "time that right" keystroke as is often the case with such
things in a boot sequence regardless if you are booting something or
want to get to BIOS.
That's the one. Timing is everything, and if too late then it's start
from the beginning.
