sometimes you just don't see that progress bar, it's too fast. ESCD update is rather hard coded into bios, and if there's no control for it, htere's not much you can do about.

For such reason I want to replace the bios with linuxbios, right now my system boots to gui (windowmaker) in about 30sec, and 10-12sec is just POST with that damn ESCD update, which actually does not do anything to kernel boot process.

All that linuxbios thing requires that your OS would have to be a linux. This won't work with windows.
