Good tip. I've always felt like I'd like to be able to boot directly into the Second Option via a key, etc. like Shift + 2 etc

Make sure this works on your system before you really need it, as some keyboard/USB-controller combinations take a few seconds to wake up from whatever slumber they're in and start working. I ran into this several times.
