I think I will give that a try. But it seams to me that is not the solution.. it may be a workaround but not a solution.. It seams to me that early_late_divider is in case you mount a FS like /usr/local where there are startup scripts executed at the late stages of the boot process.. and that's not my case.. my case is that the em0 interface, somehow gets ready too late.. it doesn't react in a responsive way to the up command.. I have other boxes with different NICs, mounting that FS without problem and without the early_late_divider option. Can anybody tell why this strange behaviour started after upgrading from 5.3-RELEASE to 6.1-RELEASE (that was last summer or early fall). May it be related with the problems of the em driver? Is there a solution? is there a way to tell the boot system to wait until ifconfig_em0 is be up? or a way to have em0 responde up before in the boot stage? Thank you again.
