FWIW: I am also using an USB to boot install the
FreeBSD on my Toshiba 3480CT lap. It is a Toshiba
PA3043U-1FDD; BUT it takes no more than a couple of
minutes to load the 4.8 kern and mfsroot floppies.

FreeBSD's boot code reads the disk sector by sector rather than track
by track. Last time I brought this up I
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...

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?
