What happens if you try and boot an unsigned image? I assume the

not even be looking for a bios option. They may burn or download
multiple media in an attempt to get it working. All kinds of possible
issues... ;(
Per spec the machine simply falls back to attempting to execute the next
entry in the boot list. An implementation may provide some feedback that
that's the case, but there's no requirement for it to do so, so it's
perfectly valid for it to just fall back to booting Windows with no
notification.
