When I'm talking about "hardware initialization", I'm talking about the
huge part that appends *before* the kernel boots.
For example, hard-based RAID.
On my server, when I push the start button, bios start-up, do a lot of
awesome things (irony), start the raid (sloowly), and then, after 5min,
pop up grub, then Linux, etc.
5min for hard (from power-on to grub), 20sec for software (from grub to
prompt)
