My motherboard supports adding an image to the BIOS. It's made by Gigabyte, and uses a tool called FaceWizard to add the image. Try googling for that to find a mobo that is still sold.

The images must be 640x480x8 bit format, and it doesn't hide all bios text, mainly the POST and drive scan. The SATA BIOS info still shows though.

You don't think the PC BIOS screen would ruin the illusion then?

Get an ami bios mobo with boot image support, like on a K7S5A, use one of the tools that are around to insert a different pic in the binary ROM image, flash it to the BIOS, tada, no ugly BIOS screen. (with option turned on in BIOS setup) Think it still kicks up the configuration summary though. But think there's ways to sneak an image in the bootblock also, so you could stick it in there to to hide all that boring

Since people are wondering what's happening: I'm putting together a boot CD at the moment... Everything else works fine.

@gdanko:

I apologise. To be fair, it's only because I mentioned it (and someone found the website) that questions started rolling in, and I had to answer with something.

I also didn't realise that the project's final 1% would be so tough. Nearly there...
