Re: Big Security Risk with F8 Boot Menu.

Pry the F8 key cap off the keyboard. Better yet, open the keyboard
case up and either cut the runners to the f8 key or unsolder the
switch and remove it. I note that cutting the runners might be a bit
more technical since one could cut the wrong runners, so be careful if
you try that approach.
