"Computer" that boots in 10 seconds! by delcted2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Linux BIOS. by Tomo 2004-01-15 10:47:28
It's been around for at least 18 months.

With a larger EEPROM put instead of the normal one, you can fit the whole kernel and modules onto it. Put a really big one on and you could get X launched.
<10 sec boot into an X-session is perfectly possible - boot the whole thing from the BIOS EEPROM, then mount the hard disk(s) for your applications and data.
