(Get the code!)
Maybe it could be done this way: let's say that the booting has 3 "checkpoints" - A, B, C.
A - start (0%)
B - drivers are loaded
C - services are running, system is booted (100%)
Before checkpoint A, the system reads from some file - e.g. boottimes - what time last every booting phase (for example, after installation in boottimes is that AB lasts 10 s and BC lasts 50 s). So in every boot, the system reads boottimes and the progress bar behaves depending on the values in boottimes. And while booting it also measures the times (between A and B and C) and writes them in boottimes after booting finishes.
And of course, it would be better if the progress bar moved smoothly between every two checkpoints.
