Open BIOSes for Linux
Modern systems need not be held back by a legacy boot process
,----[ Quote ]
| On many systems, a large portion of boot time goes into providing
| legacy support for MS-DOS. Various projects, including LinuxBIOS and
| Open Firmware, are trying to replace the proprietary BIOS systems with
| streamlined pieces of code able to do only what is necessary to get a
| Linux kernel loaded and running. This article gives a brief overview of
| the field.
