Laszlo, Seabios starts to boot the OS nearly instantaneously. OVMF takes several seconds.
I think in OVMF today this is mainly due to timeouts waiting for a non-existent floppy and/or CD ROM. This series adds a few more seconds waiting on the boot screen timeout. This seems to be heading in the wrong direction in terms of boot time. -Jordan On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 6:21 AM, Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> wrote: > The main motivation for this series is > <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1153927> -- OVMF's > PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior() currently prevents Intel BDS from handling > the "OsIndications" variable correctly.
