I cannot for the life of me get my Chromebox to the boot menu.

Situation: I've got a pair of chromeboxes with Standalone seabios on them. Both with openelec. I want to redo them with kodibuntu and mythbuntu. However I cannot for the life of me get into the boot menu reliably. I've done it a couple of times randomly in the past but now today I cant do it all. Is there anyway from within openelec I can update the BIOS to force a boot to USB device? Is there a BIOS that will wait out for a second or two for input? I have two different wired USB keyboards I've tried with. Is it true you can only press ESC once? If I mash ESC a thousand times it wont catch? EDIT: Can I hit reboot from within OpenELEC and hit ESC to get the boot menu? Or do I have to do a full shutdown in order to get the boot menu option?

My i3 chromebox boots so fast its crazy. I reboot so rarely I dont know why we dont have a sensible amount of time so that monitors can adjust to the input and USB devices can wake.

I've now corrupted the OpenELEC install on one of them hard resetting it so many times. Lesson learned to shutdown cleanly from now on on the other.

Thanks for any help!
