I've recently installed a ZFS-only system which is booting from GPT using a 'legacy' BIOS. Something I noticed straight away is that the loader takes a very long time: it pauses after enumerating the disks but before displaying information about the installed memory:
BTX loader 1.0.0 BTX version is 1.02 Consoles: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive C: is disk0 BIOS drive D: is disk1 BIOS drive E: is disk2 BIOS drive F: is disk3 -> pauses for 25 seconds, with the spinner occasionally moving BIOS 631kB/3666816kB available memory Is it normal for booting to take such a long time when booting from GPT? -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
