It's a good start (since the BBB is really flakey at 1Ghz), but yes, more delays aren't good! For what it's worth, I'm working in parallel with both FreeBSD and Debian Wheezy images on the BBB, and it is quite apparent that the BBB running FreeBSD is *much* slower to boot than the BBB running Debian; which currently boots to the login prompt in about 15 seconds from power up. FreeBSD has a 15-20 second delay just to detect the eMMC, let alone everything else. Comparatively, my x64 FreeBSD VM boots much more quickly than my Ubuntu x64 VM. -W.
