Are you talking about fix_video? When I tested, without fix_video I
could use the console, but X was slow. With fix_video, X was
accelerated, but the console was scrambled as soon as X started.

>>> the best way is to use first sector of [BIOS Boot Partition]

This only works if the BBP is in the MBR. In my configuration, there
are already 4 partitions in the MBR, with no room for the BBP. That's
why I want to embed the boot-image in another partition, and have it
pass control to the BBP.
