OMG, can we please bring the topic back to some sort of sanity? I'm not on Ntebsd right now, but I remember checking on (sd) driver man page and no mention about boot timeout options. However there is a "SD_IO_TIMEOUT" option but that's about r/w to disk: http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sd+4+NetBSD-current I'm still new to Netbsd and I can't speak of Freebsd, but my understanding is that the difference between Linux and Netbsd with regards to scsi disks is that on Linux the device is already configured in the kernel, therefore a certain delay is needed at boot time, while on Netbsd the configuration of the device happens on-the-go, so to speak. In my case (I boot the systen from a usb flash drive) it takes about 4-5 seconds to have the device fully configured. But I have most likely missed the point. -- Ottavio
