   It never ceases to amaze me how fast coreboot boots. Here is my modified version of Libreboot 26.01 Magnanimous Max, on my Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro (the one I use as my main machine).

   I set payload_grubsea="'y" in config/coreboot/dell3050micro_vfsp_16mb/target.cfg and did:

   ./mk -m coreboot dell3050micro_vfsp_16mb

   And there, set debug level to zero, and disabled serial debug output. You can see here that it boots to GRUB in less than a second.

   You can really seriously rice it for boot speed.

     I have heard about coreboot but not that familiar with it.

     Is its role same as BIOS/UEFI ?

     I think it is limited to some systems only and not even possible to install it on most laptops, correct?

     does installing it mess with windows OS ? I use linux and I don't think it messes with it but windows has some "assumption" about your own hardware and what you can do with it.
