Changing your rotating harddisk to an SSD usually makes quite a difference in my experience.

Yes. Even buying an intel i7 processor ;–) What I’m asking is howto optimize the boot sequence.

asjo is right, if you have a ssd the bootup process is really much faster, with the same hardware

seems to me lifeisfoo is aware of that; she just wanted to do it with some tweaking here and there, without hardware changes

I was merely trying to tell you what my experience regardinging boot-speed was, and I thought the question was quite open (it didn’t say anything about hardware not being a relevant way).

I was quite impressed with the difference in boot-speed by using an SSD in a laptop, so I tried to give an answer with a different perspective. I don’t think a faster CPU will give you a similar increase in speed.

Sometimes throwing hardware at a problem is easier/quicker/cheaper than tweaking a lot.

I am sorry that people thought my answer was stupid.

You’re right: indeed the question is “Make debian boot faster”, not “Make my pc boot faster”. Thanks to asjo anyway for the answer, will be helpful to someone anyway.

Use systemd. systemd boots concurrently by dynamically determining boot dependencies. It can boot from kernel to userland in 1 second.
