Normal user expect that when there is written on the screen "Press ESC for boot menu." and afterwards when the user have not pressed anything inside the short time, and see then "Booting from Hard Disk..." then when the user press ESC nothing should happen any more because the user simply missed the time period to press the ESC button.
In SeaBios there is a strange situation. When i see "Booting from Hard Disk..." and suddenly press ESC (few times) i get in a fully unusable state. The machine didnt do anything any more.
SeaBIOS doesn't check for ESC after the prompt expires. After "Booting from Hard Disk..." the OS (and/or bootloader) is executed - it sounds like that software is confused by the ESC key.
