I was wondering if it is possible to hide some of the extensive information being printed during the initilisation process. I tried to use the graphical splash screen but it only shows up for a very short time. What about implementing some sort of delay in the display format.

 I wrote my own PXE server which provides the extended tags to the PXE
client and I would like to specify the bootfile there.

(In my case DOS) Can RAM-Disk images be accessed before they are booted? If yes an init-file could be written to the ram-disk image.

That's not practical.
