That looks like you edited /etc/conf.d/rc and changed
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP from "no" to "yes".

You supposedly can get a small speed increase if you leave it like that,
but change it back if you prefer it the other way.

Thanks, yes, that did "fix" it. However it's strange b/c I have had PARALLEL
on for years ever since I first learned of it. Only with this new baselayout
did the loading change to this other way of displaying it. Hmm...

Because the startup scripts are no longer running sequentially, the OK
responses make little sense, as they won't necessarily appear i the same
order and the scripts are run. You still get a warning if a script
fails to start. However, if you do want to keep them with parallel
startup, set RC_VERBOSE="yes".

Um, but the OK could appear after a script finishes succesfully.

I think the OP is suggesting this:

Script A starts    print nothing
Script B starts    print nothing
Script B succeeds  print "script B  [ok]"
Script A succeeds  print "script A  [ok]"

You could also fill in the ok/failed status as things progress.  So if
the screen displays:

Script A                                     [  ok  ]
Script B                                     [      ]
Script C                                     [  ok  ]
Script D                                     [failed]
Script E                                     [      ]

Scripts A and C have completed successfully, script D failed, and
scripts B and E are currently running, and F-? have not started yet.

Of course the code (in shell script no less!) to make this work would
be tricky to say the least, and probably require creating some
C-helper programs to move the cursor around.  But it would be cool!

What if you have more than 24 scripts in the start up?
