Some advice on user feedback on first cold boot of Yun

for project have yun, custom shield , lcd keypad shield.

on first cold boot lcd lights nothing 60 or more seconds while linino comes up. 1 user acceptance testing finding lot of users don't read manual getting stuck in impatient loop of assuming had hung because nothing saying otherwise put

lcd.print(f("starting linux"));

before bridge.begin() statement within setup() loop. @ least gives feedback. have problem annoying me. project relies on using         asm volatile ("  jmp 0");  kind of simple, got square 1 software reset. of course reloads setup() routine , briefly displays starting linux of course not true. linux started.

i know being pedantic bothers me. there doesn't seem method in setup

if (bridge.available)
{
}                                                                                   
else
{
    lcd.print(f("starting linux"));
    bridge.begin();
}

i.e if bridge don't display message if not display it.

i know being pedantic make sure project polished.

does have suggestions?
