  We've heard that before.  Maybe this time it will come true.

  Modern BIOSes usually don't take more than a few seconds to boot, so
that seems like a non-issue.  The single biggest driving factor is
prolly the size limit of the  conventional IBM-PC partition table.
Although I bet they could extend the traditional BIOS again if they
didn't have a compelling alternative.

  This would mean you won't be able to install MS-DOS on your 2.5
terabyte hard disk, though.  ;-)
