The boot screen is somewhat secondary to the main target of decreasing

eleventh-hour change. We hope to have those and many more cards
working with the spiffy boot graphics for Fedora 11, but regardless,
boot speed is a very important consideration.
Well, on my netbook it has been spectacularly unsuccessful. The boot time is
horrifically long. It seems that it first tries to bring up my wireless
connection, failing miserably, then it tries to mount my 3 defined nfs mounts.
Two of them are always available, one is not always. Instead of a reasonably
short wait time, then moving on, it seems to wait a very long time. If
anyone's interested I'll time it. Failing gracefully is something it needs to
learn.
By design NFS should wait for success (you may not have anything
else...). If failure is expected or acceptable, you need to specify
bg,soft for the mount - or better yet use the automounter so you don't
even consider mounting until the need arises.
