Acelerando o Boot do Arch Linux com o finit-arc
Não é novidade minha mania de tentar deixar o boot sempre mais rápido.. quem acompanha o blog(alguém faz isso mesmo??) sabe que eu vivo fazendo isso, e já testei diversas distribuições…
mas enfim, chegou a vez do arch linux, que está me acompanhando a aproximadamente 3 meses 
Faça por sua conta em risco.
Vamos lá:
1º – Baixe e instale esse pacote do aur:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25159
2º – Faça um backup do seu rc.sysinit
#mv /etc/rc.sysinit /etc/rc.sysinit.bkp
3º – Crie o novo rc.sysinit com o seguinte conteúdo (edite de acordo com os comentários):
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.sysinit
#
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

#**************************** WARNING ******************************
# If you’re using initramfs for your kernel, uncomment steps 5 and 17
# To improve boot speed it’s recommendend to make a static kernel
# without modules and without initramfs.

# MAKE STEP 2
# Type in a term from root: ls -l /dev | grep sda
# you’ll receive the list of /dev/sda devices
# make your /dev/sda devices in step 2 like the example

4º – Altere o /boot/grub/menu.lst
#(0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux SpeedBoot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro vga=791 splash resume=/dev/sda1 init=/sbin/finit-arc
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Obs.: O finit-arc não suporta os UUID’s para as partições, faça à moda antiga, /dev/etc..
5º – Alere o /etc/fstab
Faça um backup por via das dúvidas, embora nem seja tão necessário assim.. mas enfim, é só tirar os UUID’s e por o caminho completo (/dev/etc), pelo motivo explicado anteriormente 
6º – Configure o /etc/finittab
#Command that you want execute after boot
#uncomment it for X login
#you must set YOURUSERNAME
#level:/bin/su YOURUSERNAME -l -c “/bin/bash –login -c xinit >/dev/null 2>&1″
#level:/usr/sbin/gdm –nodaemon
#level:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
#level:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
#level:/usr/bin/slim
Esse tá muito simples, é só ler 
7º – Crie o /usr/sbin/services.sh
#!/bin/sh
#Starts udev events
/sbin/udevd –daemon &>/dev/null &
/sbin/udevadm trigger &>/dev/null &
/sbin/udevadm settle &>/dev/null &
#Make swap (not for ssd)
/sbin/swapon -a &
#Starting background daemons
/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start &>/dev/null &
/etc/rc.d/hal start &>/dev/null &
/etc/rc.d/laptop-mode start &>/dev/null &
/etc/rc.d/alsa start &>/dev/null &
Vá adicionando os seus daemons no mesmo estilo dos anteriores.. easy easy 
Feito isso, é só reiniciar
Aqui funcionou perfeitamente.. ainda não medi o tempo.. mas tenho certeza absoluta que tá bem pequeno.. eahiuheaiuheaiu
