ChromeOS startup is too long

[sebanc]

ChromeOS startup is long because of the initramfs (which is the main piece of brunch). It allows the different configuration options and updates notably:

• a delay is needed for all block devices to be mounted by the kernel.
• then it verifies if changes have been made in options or on partition 7 (brunch update)
• UI display is also delayed to be more compatible (notably for accelerometer and android apps support). You can try "options=no_ui_delay" to have a slighly faster boot.

It's therefore unlikely that there will be any improvement in ChromeOS startup delay with brunch over time.

Nevertheless, Croissant is still a very good alternative for those looking for a quicker boot (no hard feelings, it's a great project).
Or even better, consider buying a real chromebook :)

With that said, issues related to ChromeOS startup delay with brunch will be instantly closed.
