I've got a couple where I have no clue as to what to press, there's no
on-screen prompt.  So short of hunting down a manual at a bad moment, I
have to hammer away at the most likely choices, trying to hit the right
one at the right time.

On some boards, your window of opportunity to hit the hotkey is damned
short, you've got a fraction of a second before its too late.  I wish
they'd implement something like leaving the CAPS LOCK on, or holding the
shift key, would cause it to pause at these moments, so you can read the
screen and hit the right key.

Some BIOSs used to let you use scroll lock to do that, but none of my
current ones.
