Hi there,
on my roc-rk3328-cc with Debian at every boot I see some initial scripts that try do something and let the booting delaying drammatically:
I couldn’t find them and I can’t figure out where they are and how to disable them.
Thanks in advance!
For Debian:
/etc/systemd/network/./etc/fstab./etc/init.d/diskid_once.I replaced systemd with runit, where else might be those scripts but fstab?
Those are the only entry points we customize. Everything else is standard. Since you replaced systemd, then it’s your own init doing something else as /etc/init.d and /etc/systemd are the only init customization points.
I checked where you suggested but I did not find them:
Those aren’t even mentioned on the bootlog:
cat /var/log/boot

I am very confused… 
You are looking at initramfs. Your changes to the images are not supported. We already indicated where the changes were in systemd and systemd rc emulation.
In the places you suggested I couldn’t find anything that is related with those red boxes:
/etc/init.d# ls
README cron hostname.sh mountnfs.sh single
avahi-daemon cryptdisks hwclock.sh networking stop-bootlogd
bootlogd cryptdisks-early keyboard-setup.sh procps stop-bootlogd-single
bootlogs dbus killprocs rc sudo
bootmisc.sh diskid_once kmod rc.local umountfs
brightness dropbear mount-configfs rcS umountnfs.sh
checkfs.sh elogind mountall-bootclean.sh reboot umountroot
checkroot-bootclean.sh eudev mountall.sh rmnologin urandom
checkroot.sh exim4 mountdevsubfs.sh rng-tools-debian uuidd
chrony fake-hwclock mountkernfs.sh seatd x11-common
console-setup.sh halt mountnfs-bootclean.sh sendsigs
And I removed any former systemd configuration directories.
Please Google initramfs and how it works. You cannot “disable” initramfs without leaving your system in a possibly unbootable state. initramfs is responsible for integrating modules that were not built-in the kernel in a package that gets loaded before the filesystem is up.
Oh there you go…

These are stock distro scripts. Modify with caution.
