Hello,
My freebsd 5.4 is taking about 5-7 minutes to
start/restart because it tries to recover the crashed
vi sessions. 
Is there a way to bring it out of this cycle of

recovery so that the system boots faster.

Thanks & Regars

from the man page...

 -r Recover the specified files, or, if no files are specified, list
the  files  that could be recovered.  If no recoverable files by
the specified name exist, the file is edited as if the -r option
had not been specified.

After booting... login and type 'edit -r'.  and then 'edit -r '

 - or -

Not 100% on this so use at your own risk...
Have you tried clearing out /vat/tmp/vi.recover ?

normally vi recovery files are in /var/tmp/vi.recover. you can empty
this directory if you are sure that you do not need the saved files.
