All I am setting up 3 sun x4440 with freebsd 7.3 amd64 . The severs have 4x 4-core opterons and 128G of ram each . Once the servers boot they are a good fit for what we are doing and preform well . The odd thing I am seeing is a long delay in boot up . Once in the initial loading of the kernel at the "|" for 1-2 mins . Then again shortly after printing the kernel banner "freebsd 7.3-release etc etc etc" . This delay is about 1-2 mins as well. So my question does any one know what I could do to speed up the boot up ? I suspect the first delay is due to a serial device probe the second is a mystery . also the bios load up time is about 5 mins on this box does anyone have any ideas on speeding that up ? ---- mark saad Nonesuch@longcount.org
