Then you change the prom settings. Hardly rocket science and doesn't
make it untrue.

If you're going to "reinstall" because of one little mistake like that
you'd have to boot from different media anyway.

Next you're going to say "But, but, what if you didn't have a cdrom
drive ? ... or someone forgot the prom password !" ?  All these things
are different issues and can be fixed.

Yeesh.
