bios boot time

[P5music]

hi
I would like to know if it is possible to start my notebook or pc without waiting for those operations it seems to do at the startup, internally, I mean before tinycore loads.
Does exist a mother board that starts loading tinycore immediately?
thanks in advance

BIOS checks are unrelated to Tiny Core. Some BIOS software retains the settings from the last good boot and allows you to skip the checking procedure. You need to see what BIOS settings can be controlled on your machine. Usually there is some key to push (e.g., F2) that gets you into the BIOS as your machine boots up.

Another solution is to replace BIOS with something else. Interesting reading is www.coreboot.org

coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes a so-called payload.

With this separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot is capable of scaling from specialized applications run directly from firmware, operating systems in Flash, and custom bootloaders to implementations of firmware standards like PCBIOS and EFI without having to carry features not necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.

We currently support 215 different mainboards.

According to their WEB site it offers 3 sec boot time to LINUX console.
