Removing the "LOGIN" requirement and just leaving "usbd" should make it start quite a bit earlier in the boot sequence. If you don't have a USB keyboard, you could make it "REQUIRE: mountcritlocal", which would be as early as you can get, since that's what usually mounts /usr. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
