Try systemd-analyze blame to find out which service takes long during bootup.
For me, it was systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, apparently timing out after 2 minutes. Probably it tries to
bring up all network interfaces (my PC has two NICs).
So: try SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online --timeout 5 --any to see if it can quickly
bring up at least one interface within 5 seconds.
Edit /etc/systemd/system/network-online.target.wants/systemd-networkd-wait-online.service and add the paramters above (-timeout 5 --any)
to line ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online.
