Current grub2 (2.02 beta2 at the moment) includes progress module that is supposed to display current percentage and estimated speed. Somehow it does not for me, but may be it just loads too fast. You could try to build it (may be it is packaged already). You will need to do "insmod progress" before loading files. _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list Help-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
