Mr. Kristensen of Soekris Engineering just mentioned a few days ago that
he's going to be overhauling the BIOS a bit in the next few weeks. This
might be a send him a wish to implement the missing function.

But, it is possible to change the kernel. When the POST is about to finish,
press and hold down space, and most of the time you can interrupt the boot
