Since my 770 has been sitting quitely on the shelf for a few months, I thought this would be a great project to commit it to... just how long does the droid flash before booting into Android? I'd love to report back how things go with this, assuming that something catastrophic has happened and I haven't successfully installed anything, how were you reading the dmesg on startup. Is there a boot parameter you can pass to hide the splash screen?

Thanks in advance and I hope my experimentation results will be useful to you.
