[gentoo-user] ntp-client slows down the boot process

2019-07-25 Thread YUE Daian
Hi folks, I use ntp-client to synchronize the date/time of my Gentoo system. I added it to the default boot level (OpenRC), however it seriously slows down the boot process (around 10 seconds or so). Is there any way to make it faster? Or am I using the wrong service? Thanks in advance! Danny

When you get the grub prompt, hit "e" for edit mode, or maybe better "c" for command line.  By typing "root (" and hitting tab, it should let you know what disks it sees.  If you're not sure which disk is which which, accept one (such as hd0) and then hit tab to see the partitions it sees.

I'm trying to install Gentoo with root on a USB SSD. In order to allow for varying enumeration order of USB block-storage devices, I've configured grub to search for its root by using the filesystem label, and that seems to work. Since I'm not using an initrd, on the kernel command line I can't
