I wonder if there is any possibility to shorten the launch and reboot times of the FreeBSD AMI. I understand that it is necessary to have the first post-install and update reboot, after the initial launch, but it seems to take a longish time compared to Amazon Linux. Without any solid measurements, it seems, from the “VGA” console, that it does pause a bit after printing the SSH fingerprint and starting cron, sendmail, configuring vt, scheduling a background fsck in 60 secs, and printing these odd messages: [: =: unexpected operator [: =: unexpected operator mount: /dev/gpt/rootfs: Device busy [: =: unexpected operator ...all before rebooting itself for that first time. I wonder if it could be optimised, somehow. It would be nice to shave a minute or more from the waits, if possible. I am also curious what those errors are.
