As a minor point, keyboards and USB have to be fairly OS-independent, as
if you need to 'press F10 for setup', you need to do it before the BIOS
even knows if there's a hard drive there, and long before an OS loads.
And yes, I *have* seen 'keyboard error, press F2 to continue', and it
isn't funny. Normally it means you've forgotten to plug one in, and the
BIOS doesn't have a 'no-keyboard' boot option.
OK, there's probably a row of extra buttons that do clever things, but
only after a 100MB service has been loaded by the OS, which is obviously
rather specific, but which you can probably do without.
