Greetings,

I was just wondering what it is that FreeBSD does that makes it take so long to boot. Booting into Ubuntu minimal or my own custom Linux distro, literally takes 0.5-2 seconds to boot up to shell, where FreeBSD takes about 10-20 seconds. I'm not sure if anything could be parallelized in the boot process, but Linux somehow manages to do it. The Ubuntu install I do pretty much consists of a shell and developers tools, but it still has a generic kernel. There must be some sort of polling done in the FreeBSD boot process that could be parallelized or eliminated.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Note: This isn't really an issue, moreso a curiosity.

-Brandon
