I have had a similar slow boot process with 1.2RC4 when my WAN connection (which uses DHCP) is unavailable. It took almost 15 minutes to boot the other day. When it finally came up I noticed no WAN IP so I reset my ISPs device got an IP then rebooted pfSense and it came right up. So if it is supposed to be fixed in 1.2RC4 what else might cause this issue?

There was an issue if your WAN was configured for DHCP and there were no DHCP servers available, it would sit there for 20 minutes waiting for a timeout. That's fixed in the updated releases here: http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/updates/ http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/iso/ You can either do the firmware upgrade or reinstall. The firmware upgrade works fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
