Thanks for that clarification. I changed things to:
Atom Initializing modules.
Disk + magnifier Creating rootfs (/) and mounting devfs (/dev).
Plug-in card Initializing device manager.
Boot disk Mounting boot disk.
Chip Loading CPU specific modules.
Folder Final initialization of subsystems.
Rocket Boot script starting the system.
When you say some of these stages don't really deserve an icon, how about changing the
meaning of the icons in a fashion that would allow every icon about equal time on your
average hardware to light up?
As a means to troubleshoot, the syslog is needed anyway. (Speaking of which... would it be
possible to check if the boot process hangs and after a while display the last few lines
of the syslog?)
If it's all more or less eye-candy anyway, we could time it all, so it accelerates to the
end. Haiku does boot very fast, but this would boost that sensation even more. IMO the
pause at one icon in the boot screen always feels like it's stuck until it continues with
the next icon 2 seconds later. Unsettling. :)
