Hi Don, Maynard,

Yes - that suggestion to use the keyboard pause feature was reiterated 
when eCS 1.0 GA was released about 3.5 years back, to allow people who 
were attempting to boot from "slow-to-spin-up-CD-ROMs", which normally 
timed out and failed to boot, to successfully boot to installation! I 
had to do that with my CD-RW 8x4x32 myself!
