Embodiments of the invention involve decreasing boot time by utilizing virtualization or partitioning techniques. In an embodiment, a hypervisor/platform partition controls the platform access to the boot target medium. Boot target data is selectively stored in a fast memory. When the system reboots, or an operating system on the platform is reset, boot target information may be retrieved from the fast memory rather than the original, slower boot target medium. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
