a note:
You probably meant "as fast", rather than "faster":

I think it's because no concerted effort has been put into optimizing
the boot time on FreeBSD. I tested a stripped-down kernel on my iBook G4
a while ago and it would boot in a coup
I guess part of it must have something to do with how the devices are
identified by the FreeBSD kernel vs linux. I know also that when using a ZFS
boot partition, it takes a lot longer to my system to boot compared to
UFS...

Hello,
I know this is a awful subject, but I recently tried a Gentoo on my
laptop and I was surprised to see Linux booting about 2-3 times faster
than FreeBSD.
I don't talk about the init/rc script but only kernel initialisation.
For linux kernel it's around 5-6 seconds vs 15-18 seconds for
