Let's temporary forget about wait time... I like the current keys too, but
I am programmer too. Let us think about end-users.
Windows - 93% of market, Mac OS - 5%, *nix and *BSD < 1%
Windows, Mac OS and *BSD use F8 for boot menu. So we have also support
F8.[[BR]]

> +1 for shortening the wait time. I'd find it nice, if we'd also support
holding Shift to enter the boot menu, though (like BeOS' boot loader),
since that usually doesn't have side effects when done earlier (e.g.
during the BIOS initialization or in the boot menu).
Yes, one more reason for support holding Shift - Mac OS X use it for "Safe
Boot".[[BR]]
In all: Space, F8 and holding Shift for "Boot Menu" and ESC for "Debug
Output".
Is it all, or same additional hot keys?

Wait a bit. I have idea how to support all this keys without waiting time.
One day required for debuging and testing.
