I have a complete root fs built into initrd, so it's almost 500MB. It takes a while to load to memory and during this time, the screen has no indication of the progress. I would like to know if there is a way show progress as initrd loaded to memory? (Such as PXE boot loading kernel will have '.' per 1MB.) I'm using GRUB Legacy, and I can patch the source if needed.
How to show progress when loading initrd?
boot;initrd;grub legacy;progress information
