What has that to do with anything? I doubt that suggestions about boot
options are on the website or come from the Tyan website, either.
Note: I'm not endorsing LinuxBIOS for Opteron, I haven't personally
tried it. But the value of the suggestion depends on how it works, not
who makes it. There appear to be a lot of reports of problems with
Opteron lately, if the BIOS isn't buggy then the documentation may have
lost in translation.
