If there's more than one device detected, the boot menu is shown. If
there's only one menu entry,
don't show it, as the user cannot choose any other option. At least me
and a few other people
hate the fact that seabios waits longer for a keypress than the complete
coreboot + seabios
cycle takes for initialization of the computer. I would really like to
see this (or mine, doesn't matter)
patch to go in.
