I'm working on making CD-boot acceptable as well. A few things
regarding that Bootscript: It should definitely be reordered, so that
if you only want to reach the Installer, less stuff is run. Especially
bad for performance is launching the net_server because it will also
cause network drivers to be loaded. The syslog_daemon and probably also
the debug_server should also be moved after the Installer, so they are
only hit when running in LiveCD mode. Since LiveCD mode is currently so
slow, we might want to consider making it less obvious (i.e. remove the
alert and just leave the team monitor trick). At the very least it
shouldn't be the default button on the alert IMO.
It would be nice if you could take over the Bootscript issues and higher
level stuff to speed up CD boot, as I am now looking more into the
kernel side. Reads are currently always done page wise, which doesn't
really serve performance, for example.
