Look at the output from dmesg, and then go into the kernel config file: /sys/i386/conf/KERNEL, or GENERIC and look for references to the devices not found. Then comment them out. I also have the complete freebsd. My machine used to pause for while looking for a second IDE drive, but i followed the kernel config chapter, found the entry and removed it. That takes about 5-10 seconds off the boot time. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
