GRUB 2 can setup splashscreens and wait for an arbitrary number of seconds with scripting. The only caveat would be to get a video backend that works on coreboot. This is in fact somewhere in my TODO list, so I might be able to help, depending on what you need. Is this intended to run in a specific chipset, or provide generic VBE support for PCI cards via expansion ROMs? -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
