Hello list. Sorry to post again.. I just realized I was not subscribed (now I am) and also forgot to tell the OS version: # uname -rms FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p15 i386 I have a couple of FreeBSD boxes here that when booting, the network interface Link state is changed to UP too late. .. as the systems mounts at boot time a NFS FS, it hangs there and after that I get the following kernel message: xl0: Link state changed to UP or (depending on the box booting) em0: Link state changed to UP on one box, after a timeout, at the next retry, the FS will be mounted. on the second box, even after the timeout, the FS will not be mounted as the interface will not be configured at all. I'll have to go through ifconfig manually and then every thing will be ok. Any hints? Is there a way to tune it by some sysctl? Thanks in advance and best regards -- Robi
