Well, I've never tried this, but I have been told by others that this would reduce boot time. That said, I don't know what I'm talking about. But thankfully, I'll be corrected if wrong. The kernel, as it arrives, contains more devices than you would normally use. That's so it will work. Once you have it working, you can remove the devices you don't actually have. That should reduce the boot time. I haven't trid this yet, but I will. It's at the top of a long list of low priorities. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
