I have taken following steps: 1) I prepared installed bootcode to 3 devices - 512MB Kingston flash drive - 32MB SD Card - 1MB file (created with dd, mounted with mdconfig, added gpt partition and freebsd-boot slice) booted over pxe 2) All devices had newest bootcode, booting from every device was terrible slow, but sd card was significantly slower than others. 3) I played with my zpool # zpool offline zroot gpt/disk2 4) reboot 5) I booted with every device. Booting from both devices connected to usb bus, was slow. Booting over pxe from 1MB 'drive' with bootcode was very fast as it should be. 6) Booting over pxe with any device attached to usb bus was again slow! 7) I did: #zpool online zroot gpt/disk2 And rebooted over pxe. Still fast. I noticed that /boot/zfs/zpool.cache was updated after puting offline gpt/disk2, but I can't remember if it was updated after upgrading kernel and world.
