Hide BIOS / Disable Verbose
I've tried the menu=on option with splash and it doesn't work. I would prefer to wait on a black screen than to have text (I'm loading it from a sort-of "Classic Startup").
Re: Hide BIOS / Disable Verbose
Hi,
I know of no way to hide the openbios screen.
If you boot OSX as guest, and you have -prom-env "boot-args=-v" in your command line, you can remove that. OSX boot will then show the normal grey apple logo during boot.

Re: Hide BIOS / Disable Verbose
I have a script I run that hides the entire application until OpenBIOS has a chance to complete, and it makes the window visible and brings it to the front after about 10 seconds. I could probably improve it to bring the window to the front, visible, when it resizes but I haven't spent the time to get this working yet.

I've tried enabling bootsplash and it doesn't work either (even when using an 800x600 JPG image, no errors shown). Maybe the bin file could be recompiled? But I don't know if the source files of the bios are included on the distribution package I have (screamer enabled; haven't used the screamer+hardfloat yet).

Hi,
I think the bootsplash options relate to the seabios bootrom, not the openbios used to boot the ppc machines.
The source files are at https://github.com/openbios/openbios
