Thomas (hi!): In context, I think simply reducing it to "Loading kernel" or even just "Loading" would be sufficient; I doubt that people really care about the detail here on the boot menu.

In fact, I've previously speculated on removing this dialog altogether. It's the last thing that happens before the boot menu exits. I booted an experimental image with this dialog removed in qemu, and there is no perceptible delay between selecting a boot menu item and the boot menu exiting. Now, this is a pretty recent and fast laptop (though not outrageously so), but nevertheless this suggests that there isn't actually any need for a progress bar here.
