I've coded some PIC asm, but never x86.

I'm hoping there is an expert here who could tell me how to add in a GOTO so the BIOS doesnt do a RAM test.

Also... Does anyone have any idea how long the board may be spending testing the RAM? It takes 25 seconds from powerup til the HDD light comes on for booting.
I've got another board which has a quick post option, and posts in 2 seconds.

The BIOS is here:
