Not directly relevant to the question, but it could address similar 
problems: my ThinkCentre can have three different boot selections:
1. On timed wakeup, it has one order of boot devices
2. On resume from power failure, and has another order of boot devices
3. On ordinary powerup, it has a third.

This would allow, for example, a box to boot Windows by default in 
normal startup, but having been shut down at the end of the working day, 
it could boot Linux at, oh, 04:00 and back itself up, then shut down again.
