1. A computer system comprising: a firmware core having a plurality of operating system (OS) interfaces; a boot sequencer embedded in the firmware core, the boot sequencer implementing a boot sequence executing the following steps for a speedy boot procedure called by the boot sequencer: invoking a platform management interrupt (PMI) to soft reset a processor without resetting hardware far the processor; bypassing at least same initialization procedures and tests to speed recovery of the computer system to a usable state; reallocating memory for the operating system interfaces; generating a new memory map for the reallocated memory; and resetting the operating system interfaces and loading an operating system.
