Isn't the bootmenu also useful to check if the bios detected other boot devices?
Please check the previous discussion [1].

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.

If you really want this feature, send in a patch with it configurable (via CBFS) and default it to not enabled.
