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.
