What I would like to see is a screen that's similar to a HP workstation booting where you have check boxes for various bits of hardware and drivers which get ticked at appropriate stages of the boot up process. It looks nice, and clearly shows what's going on, unlike the Linux kernel.

Well, in my opinion there is no need for a bootscreen with graphic/GUI
but I think a common format for the messages would be really nice (this
makes parsing errors with a program much easier) and the use of colors isn't
very difficult and makes the screen much nicer to read (errors red...).
Are there any standards for messages from kernel/syslogd...?
