This is another instance where solving a problem
in software is far easier than ignoring the 
problem until troubleshooting is necessary.
The software can also help the user to understand 
more.

Aos could read the setting in the CMOS and, if 
appropriate, make a warning in the System.Log.  
Example.

'Warning: "PnP OS Installed" in the CMOS system 
parameters is set to "YES".  Aos is not a PnP OS.'

An even better (simpler) solution is to correct 
the setting, put an explanation on the screen, 
wait for an acknowledgement from the user and 
reboot.  Problem solved, for everyone, permanently!

If BootMan does this, the parameter can also be 
set "YES" for other systems.
