How do I make boot wait a few seconds more if it can't mount the root device immediately? Device in question is a USB 3.0 USB stick, 32 GB where I installed FreeBSD 10-prerelease i386. Booting process can't mount the root device fast enough, and I get mountroot> prompt. I have succeeded every time in booting, sometimes after several attempts due to not knowing the ddevice name/number. Being able to enter ufs:/dev/gpt/FB10USB3i386-root helps, especially when more than one USB stick is present, and enables me to get it correct the first time. But it still is annoying, and I would like to avoid this extra step, if possible. It seems like a matter of a USB stick not responding as fast as a hard drive, or maybe this USB 3.0 stick is slower for initial response than USB 2.0 sticks.. So how do I tell the system to allow several seconds more?

But I am then able to mount this device/partition from mountroot> prompt. By the way, I also notice some instabilities with USB; this is on FreeBSD 10-prerelease amd64 as well as i386: ugen1.4: <Logitech> at usbus1 (disconnected) ums0: at uhub6, port 2, addr 4 (disconnected) ugen1.4: <Logitech> at usbus1 ums0: <Logitech USB Optical Mouse, class 0/0, rev 2.00/34.01, addr 4> on usbus1 ums0: 8 buttons and [XYZT] coordinates ID=0 though this mouse is actually connected and responsive all the time. I just checked for 9.2-STABLE amd64 and 11-HEAD i386 and amd64: these USB mouse-related messages don't occur. Now I'm afraid to upgrade to 10.0 on computer where 9.2-STABLE is installed and re(4) works OK. 11-HEAD is stabler than 10-prerelease? FreeBSD version on computer with newer MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard is 10.0-prelease from about the time of RC3: FreeBSD amelia4 10.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-PRERELEASE #3: Mon Dec 30 01:38:00 UTC 2013 root@amelia4:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SANDY10 amd64 Tom
