Can I delay the rc.conf processing somehow > so that the adaptor has more time to get online? You could always put a sleep statement in the relevant /etc/rc* script. On some of our servers, we added the following two lines to the base /etc/rc script in the NFS Mounts section, because it would process too quickly and try to mount (and fail) before the interface came up: echo 'Waiting 5 seconds for interface to settle...' sleep 5 In our case, it was the ti0 interface, but the concept's the same. Hope that gives you something to start with, at any rate. -Jamie
