The BIOS POST message is still there btw even on eg Thinkpads (Phoenix BIOS), you just have to enable it in the ... BIOS.

Unfortunately enabling this means everybody within a 15 meter radius knows when my laptop has rebooted because this option also enables a BEEEEP that cannot be disabled or turned down. :(

Can disable the low-battery beeping; cannot disable the POST beep unless you switch to vendor logo mode.

(It's your standard old-style beep - just rendered through stereo speakers that have uncannily decent audio reproduction at that particular frequency for some reason. In a serene, quiet room.)

404 sense not found; please check the garbled and try again
