      I have a video splashscreen and it starts right after checking progress on disk 1 and all the bootup procedures. Is there a way to make the splashcreen video start sooner or make the procedure faster? Im using a raspberry pi zero.

        @kristjan1111 As other services started on boot, the splashscreen has to wait until the system is minimally start before it can start. Since the splashscreen image/videos are on your local disk, there's nothing that can be done before the disk check is complete.
        I remember that there was a bug on RPI's related to fake-hwclock that would make the disk check trigger every boot - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=198937&start=25 - so try to run a system update and see if it fixes the long boot time.
