Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Arguments to skip boot menu and to hide bios output
Date: Fri,  6 Feb 2009 19:17:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1233965825-17970-1-git-send-email-FOSS@AtlasTechnologiesInc.com> (raw)


This patchset creates new commandline arguments -quietboot and 
-fastboot

-quietboot silences normal text output from the bios and vgabios. I 
rarely care to see this output and it looks much cleaner when the 
first thing shown in a KVM window is init or splash (or the dreaded 
Windows logo)

-fastboot lets you explicitly skip the "Press f12 for boot menu" option 
saving ~3 seconds on each boot. It is also implied by -kernel -boot 
or -quietboot.

I've been working with kvm, but I realize this may be qemu related.
Figured I'd give it a shot here first.

This is my first patch submitted to a mailinglist so any 
etiquette/procedural comments or critiques are appreciated.

Also, my asm-fu is weak so I'm sure those few lines need some help.
