Hey gang - I'm trying to build a new router using Gigabyte's GA-H170N-WIFI board, which is armed with a version of AMI's UEFI. The first fail I ran into was with the FreeBSD 10.2 EFI memstick installer. It would page fault during the kernel load every single time, in the same spot. I changed over to the non-EFI memstick, and it boots. However... the boot time is *insanely* slow. As in: it takes over 5 minutes for the kernel to finish loading. Once the rc scripts hit, everything is quite quick. But it's that boot time that's ridiculous. The same happens once I install 10.2 (non-EFI) and reboot using the disk: very slow boot time. As an important aside: I did try the latest 11.0 snapshot in EFI mode. It boots and installs fine. But I'm not keen on bleeding edge, specially for a router. So I'm a bit stumped. Is there A)any way I can *significantly* speed up the legacy booting, or B)any fix for the EFI boot crashing w/10.2? Thanks. -- Jason Van Patten
