[techtalk] Can the boot up screen be replaced?

[Elizabeth Cortell]

Are you talking about the very first screen you see, before all the boot
messages scroll by? That's the BIOS splash screen..  The i-opener discussion
board at www.linux-hacker.net just had a thread about replacing it.  Futzing
with your BIOS is a bit risky; be sure to back up the old BIOS image and have a
handy method for reflashing your hapless chip.
