Hehe, I could have lots of fun with this one, but I got a good nights
sleep and i'm in a good mood.
If you get 7-8 greybars that means the average uptime is about 1-3 
seconds.  (Someone correct me if these timings are more than an
order of magnitude off).  If you get 9 bars then you get an uptime
of about .2 seconds longer than the 7-8 bar case.  The trick is
to get past the 9th bar and get a clear screen.  The MacBSD banner
appears and the thing basically works (sans device drivers for some
machines).
So, in answer to your question, "No."

I sincerely doubt it.
