try one of the standard ATSC 1080i modelines at
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Modeline_Database#ATSC_Standard_Modes
which should work with the 9A60
you can also try the standard nvidia mode, "1920x1080_30", which will
be "progressive", but in my experience teh 9A60 should handle it
properly and send a 1080i signal to your TV.

As for showing the boot process, I was never able to get the 9A60 to
properly or consistently send this to my old 1080i tv, I'm not sure
its possible.
