I'm testing it right now on my laptop( yea - it doesn't have this much  
load, but it runnes few server-like daemons, like apache and mysql + pgsql  
). The boot speeds up *really*! X starts in like < 10sec from powering on  
the laptop!

The problem is with tracing what runns and what doesn't. Since all starts  
parallel, there is a lot of output and things start in different places,  
sometimes between of other msgs.

I think also we need to make the scripts use not binnary logic, but

outputed an error, which resulted in failure of running the mounting init  
script, which stopped > 50% of the system from running, which is insane!  
We need a third state, that it generally did it's job, but there were  
errors. This way other thins would boot (like mysql, apache etc...) and  
some could fail indeed (like a partition where I keep apache wasn't  
mounted etc..), but we'll get the system up, because otherwise we could  
end up not allowing logins because of some minor errors.
