(Please don't say "9.1", we need to know the full version, e.g. 9.1-RELEASE, or if you built your own we need uname -a output (you can hide the machine name)) 2. How many disks are in the machine? 3. Are any of the disks used for ZFS? There have been **many** improvements to the FreeBSD bootloader with regards to things taking a long time on boot-up in semi-recent days, but answers to the above questions will determine that. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
