Before Plymouth appeared there was a boot option to set text/graphic boot "progress". What ever happened to that? It worked just fine.
I think that was with Lilo. Lilo went away, so it can not be used.
There was a cute boot menu with penguins moving around that appeared around Xmas. A shame that it is impossible now.
I still see it several days most weeks here. All my BIOS/MBR installations (the vast majority of my PCs) still use it, courtesy of multiboot keeping old releases installed, only one bootloader per PC, Grub Legacy, and Gfxboot, as modified by "gfxboot --change-config penguin=100"[1]. Grub2 here is only installed on UEFI installations, very bland by comparison, with systemd-boot installed on none.
