Yes after the beastie menu we also have a noticable pause
before the kernel start booting, just white square top left hand
corner, not tracked that one down yet, any ideas?
Steve the change you need is in HEAD not sure if it was MFC'd to 9-STABLE yet
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/amd64/amd64/machdep.c?view=markup&pathrev=224516
There is a slow memory check done early in the kernel load that is
mostly useless. DragonFlyBSD removed it completely. FreeBSD has a
loader tunable to disable. I have a few boxes with 128G of ram and it
takes about 2mins to test the ram .
Thanks Mark that removed the 45 seconds delay after beastie so in total
boot is now 1 1/2 minutes quicker, result :)
Regards
Steve
