The standard BLCOMMON code has hooks for showing the progress of the load
you do not need to resort to inaccurately faking it with timers, etc... You
just need to init the video and find or write the code to draw on the
screen. I posted some sample code for the BIOSLOADER that loads a raw image
file directly into the display frame buffer for a splash screen and a
progress bar isn't particularly difficult. (Alpha blending it over the
splash screen is actually fairly easy too!)
