I am curious is anyone has measured boot times for the beagleboard
when booting any Linux image to single user mode.
Not me, but feel free to perform the test and report the results.
Ways to do so are listed in http://www.elinux.org/Boot_Time#Measuring_Boot-up_Time
2.6.29 will have PRINTK_TIME enabled.
I also like Tim's grabserial script listed on the page mentioned
above.
