"San Jose-based startup DeviceVM made waves last year when it unveiled Splashtop, a nearly instant-on Linux environment stored in the flash memory usually reserved for motherboard BIOS. The company previewed an upcoming revision to Splashtop at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in January, then gave us the chance to take a hands-on look at this intriguing system software."

It's not a career, it's a hobby. And heck, even had f.ex. a situation where you have no optical drive at hand so you could use your bootable CD? Or malfunctioning optical drive, yet you can't say if it is the drive or something else and still can't boot from the CD?
Oh, and I did mention the case that if you have an OS installed but something goes awry, that does also include hardware fault which prevents you from booting.
No matter how you spin it, a BIOS based system diagnostics, utilities and repair facility would be a boon to many hobbyists and professionals.
