It's kind of funny; it seems like we are almost talking about a "pre-OS
hibernation file." So how about this, a COM32 module which scans
_all_of_memory_ and makes a state file in a sparse format, to avoid
contiguous zeroes. This state file would clearly include the
boot-loader itself and everyone else. Tricky part would be moving the
state out of the way while memory is being restored.
Restoring such a state would obviously do little good for hardware.
A very interesting discussion; I'm not fond of waiting for 5 ROMs to do
their thing after every reset. Sometimes, I'm not even using the
hardware they initialize.
