Methods and apparatus for displaying a language specific text string in a pre-boot environment are disclosed. A disclosed system loads certain device drivers in a pre-boot environment (i.e., before an operating system is loaded) based on a boot block in a flash memory device. The user is then presented with a text-based interface in the pre-boot environment. The system allows the user to select a language for the text-based user interface. Text strings used to display the text-based user interface in the selected language may be stored in the same flash memory device used to store the boot block. In addition, other resources may hold additional text strings in other languages. For example, a hard disk drive and/or a network device may store additional text strings in other languages for use in the pre-boot text-based user interface.
