Please do not make that kind of assumptions. People who do not
know about the "character" of the cdrom will first wonder why
it never boots (default: boot from harddisk) and, when they
figure out that, why it grabs their harddisk without first
giving them a lot of time to think about whether they want DOS
to be installed permanently. In short, just use infinite
timeouts, or maybe a one minute timeout for the "default for
boot from harddisk" item, to allow people to boot from cdrom,
do a few selections, and then walk away (so the PC can reboot
into dos-on-harddisk without further user intervention later).
