Enable vga_console later during startup

[Julian Sparber]

Hi to all,

During boot Seabios shows some text including the version number on top 
of the screen for a couple of seconds before switching to the boot 
splash. It doesn't happen every time, but it is really annoying when it 
does because it makes the boot much less fluid.
I fixed this by enabling the vga_console later during the startup. I 
attached a patch to this email. I tried it in qemu and on my laptop.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
jsparber

Hmm, where does the delay come from?

Doing vga init after boot menu isn't gping to work very well ...

Please use 'git send-email' instead of attaching patches, that makes
discussing patches alot easier.
