Can the message have some color codes?
"\nPress <white>F12</white> for boot menu.\n\n"
So that it is possible to brighten/darken/highlight/emphasize certain parts
of text strings.
Also with the boot being so fast, it is easy to miss the window of press.
I hope it is possible to hold down the F12 key and that should work too, so
you don't have to repeatedly press it 10 times a second. :p
