Assuming you have physical access to the machine, I'd just do it this
way & quit worrying about it. ;)
You can boot a spare machine with another identical livecd at the same
time so you can see what _should_ be on the screen, and it's not like
it's a problem if you have to reboot the PC a few times to get it right.
Now, if the machine is at a remote location & you don't have access to
reboot it, then it might be a bit more of a problem...
