Heavy finger, disregard last message... I've been testing the new Moblin distro from linux, and it boots incredibly quickly (~7 secs to desktop in KVM) One irritation is that the bios takes up roughly half of that time. I've managed to throw in a few ifdefs into the bios/vgabios to get the screen cleared and the prompts to go away so that the first thing that you see after KVM is launched is an xfce desktop. This is a vast improvement in my opinion, but obviously one that's not always wanted/needed. It makes sense to me that if a --boot or --kernel parameter is given, that the "press f12 for boot menu..." should not be shown. Moreover, I think it makes sense to show no bios messages at all if --kernel is given. This improves boot time by ~3 secs on my machine, meaning I get a moblin xfce desktop in ~4 secs. So here's my question: Is it posible to send a parameter to the bios? I'd like to change the bios operation for the 2 parameters above, but haven't found a way to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
