Question on RT Linux for those in the know about the boot sequence.

I am designing a PCI add-in card that needs to start working within 1-2
seconds of power-on, i.e., it cannot wait for a full linux boot which is in
the order of tens of seconds. 

How can I solve this with RT Linux?

Can the real-time kernel, which I assume "boots" first in a few
milliseconds, initialize the card and devote a few cpu cycles to it (oops,
I forget to mention that the card need to talk to the CPU periodically)
while the rest of the non-real-time part system is booting?

Your responses?

Regards
RT Linux newbie
