amazing. Put an OS in the BIOS FLASH part. Now who would ever have thought of such a ridiculous idea.
Heh. Note how they don't talk about total boot time or the time until the payload has finished execution. They just talk about the time needed until control is passed to the payload and mention "milliseconds" (note how they don't specify how many). We should advertise the same way, it's simply more impressive.
"Coreboot only spends a few milliseconds after poweron doing the absolutely neccessary setup. Your operating system of choice can run directly after that directly from flash with no additional delays. Coreboot has been offering that ability for over ten years."
