Actually no it doesn't. The reason the original author wrote this
boot menu patch was explicitly so that if you had used a '-boot d'
arg, you could do a one-time override from the BIOS screen.
One other alternative to added a brand new arg is to just allow an extra
meta-character in -boot arg to indicate that it should prompt or not
-boot d (use cdrom)
vs
-boot d+ (default cdrom, prompt to allow override)
but perhaps that's a bit obtuse
