What exactly is slow? Is loading the kernel and boot archive slow (from selecting the boot entry in the grub boot menu, until the SunOS copyright appears on the screen) ? Such a problem exists on some systems with usb connected boot devices, where the bios is extremly slow loading Solaris' big boot archive file: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4180 Or is the startup into the gnome desktop slow? In this case it could be the amount of available physical memory. The OpenSolaris livecd needs 512MB, but this is the absolute minimum and the livecd startup is quite slow with that amount of memory. It gets faster when more memory is available. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
