it requires the long-press reboot to enter the waiting mode
I believe it will automatically reboot every 5-10s or so, but it doesn't enter bootloader mode automatically - it just keeps retrying.
However, I think this is probably a non-issue now. The IDE now sends people towards the App Loader which should be more reliable, and the Web IDE firmware update is itself fixed. It should be pretty rare people enter that mode, and if they ever do I feel like a quick google should bring them to some help.
I'll make sure I mention it explicitly though in the troubleshooting docs, and ensure that if you search for BANK0 on the Espruino site you find it easily.
