[SoaS] Boot menu - should be human friendly

[DancesWithCars]

Maybe make it so that if you put a CDR
or USB stick in without booting,
it gives you a web page or instructions
on how to boot the thing?

Kind of idiot proofing, but
I'm never sure the people I hand
a CDR too even know what Booting
is, much less how to do it...
