SUch as which kernel, etc. What is the pause for later on? The countdown that can be changed in the boot conf file (or wherever it is, i saw it but i forget)? Is that just to allow time to call up a command prompt? Since my rc.conf will be slower (since i will be adding a sleep 1 to pause for pccardd) i would like to trim unnecessary time from booting up. But i also don't want to lose functionality in the event of a system problem. I'm running 3.2 on a laptop, BTW. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
