Doc Text:
Previously, a boot option of "Boot (Basic Video)" appeared in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor boot prompt when booting from the installation live CD. When chosen, this option would boot the hypervisor installation process instead of booting the hypervisor. This boot option was removed from the installation image to prevent confusion.

Boot(Basic Video) should not be there at all.  I'm not sure where it came from.

Does Install (Basic Video) work?
