What I think is important is for the user to be given visual ASSURANCE that the boot process has not gotten "stuck" (e.g., the line of periods emitted by long-running processes).

If the indication can track fraction_completed - so much the better - but I do not expect the user to leave the room if the boot process takes longer than he expects. Seeing "only 25% to go" is <frosting>; the <chocolate_cake> is knowing "no problems thus far".
