One is a "1" and the other is a "Y". The ASCII value of "1" is 49, or in hexadecimal 31. The value of "Y" is 89 or in hexadecimal 59. Config sys processing does not take many "humanistic" permutations/precautions. To you a "1" could easily mean a "Y" but for a computer this is most assuredly not the case. You could call it bad programming. Or you could see that by eliminating a lot of possibilities and instead demanding a single predictable response reduces the time required for the boot process (which is already fairly time consuming).
