If one were to build nodes without ECC memory
Some years ago when I have done this, I have also instituted a schedule of running memory tests every several weeks-months. The time taken by these tests has made the BIOS loading time insignificant... if time was your main reason for this question.
Is there a way to configure a machine to reboot by having the OS pass control directly to the boot loader, and so skip the BIOS?
If your mainboard supports LinuxBIOS/coreboot, you could run that instead.
