I do not think the two-step progression from one dot to three dots is very useful. Particularly since on an XO with 21005xx1 with both an USB hub and an USB-ethernet adapter plugged in, "pretty boot" stalls with the one dot showing. [No change after 30 minutes; no clue as to what the user should do now.] Note - the same setup with pressing the check button (_no_ pretty boot) will boot correctly to completion.>

Hit escape and you'll get the output and you can see what it's doing.
That just brings me into "non-pretty" boot -- which I already know will work.
Besides, hitting escape has to be precisely timed -- AFTER it would cause a pause at the ok prompt, but BEFORE the boot process stalls. [Once booting has paused at the single dot, pressing escape does nothing.]
If I wanted to run non-pretty boot -- much simpler to press the check button as the XO-1,5 powers on.
