for now my user interface is simple: it's linux. You get to control/config via /dev/bios, or maybe even via sysctl and /proc/bios. To get at these things you can come in over the net via ssh (it's linux, remember: all things are possible), or run a TK-based tool that accesses and changes this stuff, or use a nice GNOME thing, or linuxconfig, or emacs bios-mode, or if you really need it have a simple command interpreter in the kernel. But I am utterly opposed to having BIOS do full-screen junk: let a user program running under the OS do that.
The standard BIOS makes a total mismash of control and UI because of bad decisions made 20-odd years ago. We can discard these bad decisions. Life improves.
