[Bug 1227365] Re: grub does not appear when holding down shift key

[Neko]

This is really, really broken. I'm also using 14.10 and a UEFI BIOS, and
until I found this bug report I figured I just wasn't hammering Shift
enough or I had selected the wrong boot option.

I need the GRUB menu because I need to add 'nomodeset' so the stupid
broken nouveau driver doesn't attempt to drive my modern nvidia card so
I can get more than just a blank screen. I could add that option to the
installer no problem; GRUB was kind enough to wait for me in that
instance. Even a 1-second window for me to hit some non-modifier key
would be a huge improvement.
