The parallel boot is implemented by a program that starts services in 
parallel (depending on several load measurements) capturing their 
stdout/stderr, buffering it and outputting it when the init script is done 
in one chunk.  Basically it's a replacement for make with some added gunk 
for its specific purpose.  You don't want to look at it.

If you chose to ignore this advise, go to sysvinit, the startpar tarball
(e.g. /work/SRC/all/BASE/sysvinit/startpar-0.54.tar.bz2)


Ciao,
Michael.
