How do you get through the firmware that fast, much less firmware plus an OS? Which reminds me, back when I was triple-booting Free, Net, and penguinix, I noticed that when rebooting, penguinix didn't go through all the firmware stuff like the BSDs do. That is one way to save a lot of time, at least for reboots.
