The bounding box task needs to be inserted into the middle of the pipeline (ie. in between the xml read and the pgsql write), so something like:
osmosis --read-xml file="belgium.osm" --bb left="4.6313" top="50.914" right="4.7762" bottom="50.8416" clipIncompleteEntities=true idTrackerType=BitSet --write-pgsql host="127.0.0.1:5432" database="Routing" user="postgres" password="********" enableLinestringBuilder="yes" nodeLocationStoreType="TempFile" You could also do it as a two step process by creating an intermediate file like: osmosis --read-xml file="belgium.osm" --bb left="4.6313" top="50.914" right="4.7762" bottom="50.8416" clipIncompleteEntities=true idTrackerType=BitSet --write-xml mycity.osm osmosis --read-xml mycity.osm --write-pgsql host="127.0.0.1:5432" database="Routing" user="postgres" password="********" enableLinestringBuilder="yes" nodeLocationStoreType="TempFile" Both approaches should be fast, but the second one lets you verify the specific city data before attempting to load it into postgres.
