Maybe a stupid question, but are you booting from a USB-stick or a DVD? I've tried on two machines recently, one is an i7/32GB RAM with a NVIDIA K2200 card and the other an i3/8GB RAM just got the Intel card on the CPU. Both booted to the banner/boot screen within maybe 10secs and the options screen shows up maybe 30 secs after exiting the boot options screen. Both machines booted from a cheap 8GB USB stick. I used legacy boot, not UEFI. Both have SSD's as internal disks. One also has a SATA 3,5" 7200rpm drive, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. /tony -- Tony Albers - Systems Architect - IT Development Royal Danish Library, Victor Albecks Vej 1, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark Tel: +45 2566 2383 - CVR/SE: 2898 8842 - EAN: 5798000792142 _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
