FYI Thinkpad bios won't let you use the keyboard for setting things. You
have to use the red mouse thingy to move a cursor around the scren. The
cursor looks like a bird that flaps its wings when you move it ;-( And
there are several easter egg key combinations in those screens for
setting serial numbers and such.

Command line written with a front end in Python or Tcl in mind ? I.e.
will print progress ticks under certain circumstances, and well formed
output.
