Please use the freebsd-questions mailing list instead of docs for this kind of question. Anyway, to give you an answer, it should only be a few seconds: your machine may have crashed when probing the hardware. Make sure that BIOS "PNP OS" setting is set to "NO" and disable any hardware you don't need in the BIOS and in the FreeBSD initial config screen. If you still have problems, then provide more details (what version of FreeBSD, what hardware you have) to <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>. Thanks, -- -Chuck
