[PATCH 0/4] Arguments to skip boot menu and to hide bios output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patchset creates new commandline arguments -quietboot and 
-fastboot

-quietboot silences normal text output from the bios and vgabios. I 
rarely care to see this output and it looks much cleaner when the 
first thing shown in a KVM window is init or splash (or the dreaded 
Windows logo)

-fastboot lets you explicitly skip the "Press f12 for boot menu" option 
saving ~3 seconds on each boot. It is also implied by -kernel -boot 
or -quietboot.

I've been working with kvm, but I realize this may be qemu related.
Figured I'd give it a shot here first.

This is my first patch submitted to a mailinglist so any 
etiquette/procedural comments or critiques are appreciated.

Also, my asm-fu is weak so I'm sure those few lines need some help.
