I am setting up 3 sun x4440 with freebsd 7.3 amd64 . The severs have 4x
4-core opterons and 128G of ram each . Once the servers boot they are a good
fit for what we are doing and preform well . The odd thing I am seeing is a
long delay in boot up . Once in the initial loading of the kernel at the "|"
for 1-2 mins . Then again shortly after printing the kernel banner "freebsd
7.3-release etc etc etc" . This delay is about 1-2 mins as well. So my
question does any one know what I could do to speed up the boot up ? I
suspect the first delay is due to a serial device probe the second is a
mystery . also the bios load up time is about 5 mins on this box does anyone
have any ideas on speeding that up ?

why 7.3? You might have better luck with 8.2. Not I real answer but
sometimes its easier to go around issues
As Sean Bruno said in the other thread, this is probably the ~useless
"memory check" done at boot; you can find the full thread where it was
recently discussed here:
