Hello, I have a question about FreeBSD boot. The point is that, FreeBSD hangs up for about ten seconds after menu "Welcome to FreeBSD", exactly is about the moment when it comes to countdown e.g from 3 to 0 (someone set it up for 10 seconds). At this point the system freezes, and after about 10 seconds, begins to start.
I tried to add an entry to the kernel
But it did not help.
I added to the /boot/loader.conf file
But still no effects.
According to FreeBSD handbook (Chapter 11 Configuration and Tuning, 11.12 Tuning Disks) which describes SCSI_DELAY in this way;
[CMD=]uname -p[/cmd]
[cmd=]sysctl -a | egrep -i 'hw.machine|hw.model|hw.ncpu'[/cmd]
[cmd=]grep -i cpu /var/run/dmesg.boot[/cmd]
Some results of the dmesg command.
And some technical information;
Does anyone has some idea, why FreeBSD hangs up? And one more thing. After this "freeze", system boots normally.
Thanks.
I tried to add an entry to the kernel
Code:
SCSI_DELAY=2000
I added to the /boot/loader.conf file
Code:
kern.cam.scsi_delay="2000"
According to FreeBSD handbook (Chapter 11 Configuration and Tuning, 11.12 Tuning Disks) which describes SCSI_DELAY in this way;
I do not have any idea. Here is some information, about computer.The SCSI_DELAY kernel config may be used to reduce system boot times. The defaults are fairly high and can be responsible for 15 seconds of delay in the boot process. Reducing it to 5 seconds usually works (especially with modern drives). The kern.cam.scsi_delay boot time tunable should be used. The tunable, and kernel config option accept values in terms of milliseconds and not seconds.
