Description Theworkaccount2 2014-04-27 20:41:01 UTC 
This is for normal minnow, not minnow max. I was asked by Darren Hart to submit this and am doing so quickly.

When I boot a minnow with firmware 1.0 installed, there is no hotkey I can issue to get to the boot menu. But if I hit exit twice from the UEFI 2.0 shell, it will then bring me to the boot menu, from which I can then select my boot media easily or get to the UiApp for checking settings.

The desirable behavior is for there to be either escape or F9-F12 which when hit during boot up with bring me directly to the settings ala UiApp, or at a minimum to the boot menu where I can select it rather than falling into the shell and having to exit back out.

Much appreciated,
JB

MinnowBoard v1 has reached new feature EOL, FW development is done as are new hardware features.  If you feel EXCEEDINGLY strongly about an issue please re-open it for discussion but be aware that we are recommending individuals migrate to the MAX platform.
