FWIW, I also like the idea of something like:

        Press any key to boot FreeBSD from CDROM...

Of course you're supposed to know, and you can certainly stop the
installer even after the system has booted into it, but it's not a bad
idea and it will help keeping away the confusion of users who think that
this is some clever Windows-only trick, right?
