Typically, many monitor models will time out that message even if you
do nothing. Some may suggest pressing monitor buttons to cancel it,
either one-time or for longer. But I don't doubt there are models
whose nagging is more tediously persistent.
(One of my machines runs with its 1680x1050 monitor on its side. That's
fine once video=efifb fbcon=rotate:3 has kicked in, but my BIOS
and Grub screens are obviously displayed sideways.)
Cheers,
David.
