You could always put a sleep statement in the relevant /etc/rc* script. On some of our servers, we added the following two lines to the base /etc/rc script in the NFS Mounts section, because it would process too quickly and try to mount (and fail) before the interface came up: echo 'Waiting 5 seconds for interface to settle...' sleep 5 In our case, it was the ti0 interface, but the concept's the same. Hope that gives you something to start with, at any rate. -Jamie _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE: This electronic transmission, including all attachments, is directed in confidence solely to the person(s) to whom it is addressed, or an authorized recipient, and may not otherwise be distributed, copied or disclosed.
