Going through the BIOS means multiple minutes of waiting for stuff hoping it finally boots, during which time I don't have a workstation to do email or anything else on. I should time the boot but I think it's about 5-10mins (and I'm too scared to reboot just to time it).
On our TX2 server, boot times were 3 minutes, but firmware upgrade (7.0) made it 8 minutes. Turns out this is to do with the DDR tests and here's how to move it back to 3 minutes:

Before UEFI menu there's a message to "press 's' for setup". Do it, then:
CAVM_CN99xx# env set dbg_speed_up_ddr_lvl 1 CAVM_CN99xx# env save
