Cromwell Hibernate

My wife was complaining about how long it took for my
xBox to boot and I was thinking this morning about
what it would take to implement hibernation in
Cromwell.

Has anyone spent any time looking into this already?

I'm no expert on what would be done during the
hibernate process but the concept sounds simple
enough.  I would imagine that the contents of the RAM
would be serialized to a file inside hda55 upon
entering hibernation.  When the xBox is rebooted the
bios could check for the existence of the hibernations
file.  If the file does not exist then it could
proceed with a normal boot. If the hibernate file did
exist then it could be restored and so "awaken" the
xBox and take it to its fully running state almost
immediately.

As I said, I am not at all sure what would be involved
for me to implement this, however, I think that it
would be an interesting project and not beyond the
realms of possibility.

Any ideas?
