Hi bk,
1) You can make U-boot skip the count-down by setting bootdelay=0 in the
U-boot environment.
Just interrupt the boot process and write:
setenv bootdelay 0 <enter>
saveenv<enter>
However take care I havent found any way to halt U-boot when this is set
to 0. You might therefore consider setting it to 1 in order to speed up
things, but still keep the possibility of interrupting the booting process.

2) The splash screen method in OMAP3 u-boot is still very hardcoded Though
working J. You can find the code for Beagleboard (which can be modified to
fit Overo) at:
http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/3ad9b803a341
8624. Look for the u-boot_v1_beagle_logo.patch.bz2 file at the end of the
page.
Best regards Good luck
Søren
