Hi,
I just reinstalled a host and noticed the following two conditions:
1. BOOTRISCV64.EFI does not get installed on the outer (non-sr0) partition i.
in the installer. This means I cannot boot without booting from a
different image and fixing it. It was a one time thing but it is a
bit of a waste of time?
2. After entering the crypted passphrase one can enter load commands at boot:
pressing enter causes a long delay for some reason on a RISCV64 qemu
on an amd64 vps running windows. It takes a lot longer than
non-encrypted to load the bootblocks (which makes sense though its long)
in "booting sr0a:/bsd:this\" and I'm guessing there is something
in the offloading that is really slow. Once the kernel is booted
there is 5% more CPU usage on the windows host probably due to the
softraid crypto. As I wrote this entire email this is still in 'this\'
we're looking at 9 minutes or so so far. Also during those 9 min, the
CPU on the host OS (windows) is at 100% which is weird because afaik
the BOOTRISCV64.EFI is not multithreaded (smp?).
After 14 minutes it finally continued loading the second block
(symbols?) this seems excessive. I have attached a screenshot on
what I really mean.
dmesg follows:
