If you read the article it specifies that the computer completes POST and gets to the Lilo bootloader in under 1 seconds. It does not fully bootup into Linux in 1 sec.

The bootloader can be configured to skip the menu altogether and load the kernel immediately, so yes, the BIOS can boot to Linux in one second.

The title is not misleading.
