To make the progress bar proceed beyond 50% you have to change
the default rc and rcS scripts.

Either:
Copy rc* to /etc/init.d (and make backup copies before)

Or:
Copy rc* to /etc/init.d/rc.lpp and /etc/init.d/rcS.lpp
and edit /etc/inittab accordingly, changing all occurances of:

/etc/init.d/rc to /etc/init.d/rc.lpp 

and

/etc/init.d/rcS to /etc/init.d/rcS.lpp

You'll have to modify your inittab anyway to tell it not to
spawn a tty on your progress console.
