AFAIK, the Ben NanoNote doesn’t have a BIOS proper, so coreboot wouldn’t make much sense. Moreover, I don’t see how replacing the BIOS can improve the OS boot time: it will shave a few seconds off POST, but if X takes 5 seconds to load it will always take 5 seconds to load, regardless of the BIOS. -- Andrea Bolognani <[email protected]> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
