Well, while it might take long on both VM and real hardware I took the liberty to test it on my hyper-v host(since I know how much time it takes for FreeBSD to boot on it) and the BSDRP-1.56-full-amd64-vga.img.xz decompressed and converted to vhd takes a very long time to boot.
I timed it to boot(compared to FreeBSD) 1:49.20 minutes (1 minute) to just move from the step of boot menu to "booting".(on the kvm it's the same) I have tested it until now on: - hyper-v host with 1 gb ram 1 nic and 1 core - kvm host with 2 gb ram 2 nics and 4 cores I have used freebsd 10.x from fedora virt-manager to a remote ubuntu kvm host. For now my lab is on kvm and I cannot test it on ESXi. My main comparison is to FreeBSD and not to linux or windows since BSDRP is based on it. I assume that a xeon class cpu with ecc memory 5 years old server should be enough to boot a vm faster then it is now unless there is some specific configuration to the kernel packaging. Just wondering on what hardware have you tried?
