Message-ID: <20000516173854.A9898@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have seen a few remarks on the boot time for 4.0. This is strange, because mine seems about the same. Also, it seems to have a rather long delay about halfway through the boot process. I can't figure out what it is... i know if the zip is attached (parallel port) it is checked during this interval, but something else is going on that seems to slow my machine down. Is there a way of figuring it out? Under 3.4, there was a check for 2 IDE drives in GENERIC, and when this was removed, the boot process was significantly faster. But i did not see such an option for 4.0 to disable probing a second IDE, if that is even the issue. Any ideas? jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org I am a bomb technician.
