Which device driver? bootmenu code is already catching and reacting to
the byte 0x1b as part of the key up and key down matching. So single
0x1b for sure cannot be caught in bootmenu code as then key up and key
down keys stops working. If it is really 0x1b byte then it needs to be
somehow escaped and therefore be part of some longer, not single byte
sequence.
