boot process is too slow during installation

2003-11-27 Thread Zhang Shu
Hi,

I am trying to install the current-FreeBSD to my Vaio PCG-Z1/P but found
the installation boot process is extremely slow. It takes more than 10
minutes to finish loading the disk created from kern.flp and another 10
minutes for mfsroot.flp. Does anyone know what the problem is?

The USB floppy drive I am using is sony's PCGA-UF05. The same thing
happens with another USB floppy drive which I don't remember the model.

I also tried to boot the installation disks of 4.8R, 4.9R and 5.1R but
the result were the same.

Thanks.

Zhang Shu

Kuriyama-san,

When I install netbsd with the same floppy drive, it turns to be pretty
fast. So I guess this is a FreeBSD problem but do not know where it is...

 I haven't seen fast USB floppy drive.  So I think all of USB floppy
 drive may be too slow...
