what to erase on /etc/rc.conf...

D

d_mon

would u delete something? i mean to speed up the process

Code: 
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Tue Aug 10 09:20:38 2010
# Created: Tue Aug 10 09:20:38 2010
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
hostname=""
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
moused_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"

i need to speed up the boot process? any tuto?

also i need to change the time on bootloader...

gnomo too hog on start!

This has nothing to do with speed, but the last 3 are redundant if I am not mistaken since gnome_enable takes care of loading them. And you probably should set a valid hostname.
You may not need moused if you do not need mouse support on the shell. GNOME uses HAL.

Here FreeBSD starts within 30-35 seconds and Xorg within <5 seconds on old hardware. How long is it taking on your machine?
Note that almost everything before the Xorg startup is hardware probing and there is not much you can do to speed it up.

Add autoboot_delay="3" to /boot/loader.conf.

Eh simple, use something else.
 
boot0cfg is not needed unless the FreeBSD boot manager is installed, which provides the "F1, F2, F3" menu. Few, if any, people needs to use this.

Just the autoboot_delay option is needed. That controls the loader menu (1-6 with logo beside it).
 
Startup lag is often due to missing DNS, but without knowing where the delay is, or what's in /etc/resolv.conf, it's hard to say.
 
Crabb, consider looking for a different translation service, some of your posts make no sense at all.
 
Try to find out what's taking so long in your boot process.

For me, I just watched the console and was able to see that loading IDE really took awhile on my system for some reason. I disabled IDE, floppy, usb, ISA slots, etc in bios and kernel (obviously don't use it, sata drives) and knocked a good 20% off my boot time. In generally it seems like polling for hardware devices via older interfaces takes awhile on most OSes.

Also what are your system specs and how long does it take you to boot?
 
horray...now...how can i change the time b4 (before) the boot logo? i mean -u no-just started the case:

f1 win
f2fbsd

f6pxe

Is there a long pause when sendmail is starting?

That can happen when you don't have reverse DNS for the local system. Sendmail will timeout trying to find it. So fix your hostname, make sure there are entries either in /etc/hosts and whatever is providing DNS.

if it is possible to eliminate that 'sendmail' i will!(just say me how)

can't see nada on startup about sendmail...

You probably don't want to disable sendmail. All internal messages won't work.
See 28.4.2: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mail-changingmta.html

Like they said, as long as you have things configured correct (Dns, hostnames, etc) and don't have something odd like a huge mailq; then sendmail should be pretty quick to startup.


As I suggested before; watch your console. Do you see anything abnormal that is slow to initialize? You'll want to find out what the hold up is and start there. Taking 500 ms off your startup by disabling sendmail isn't going to help if your IDE controlling is hanging for 2 minutes.

Also what are your system specs and how long does it take you to boot? Are we taking 30 seconds to boot up or 20 minutes?
 
Code: 
sendmail_enable="NONE"
will disable all of it, but you'll get clogged up with periodic output unless you fiddle with /etc/periodic.conf.

Probing the (empty) sdcard port seems to take a bit here, as with enumerating all the usb nonsense.

Other solution out this theme, compile us your kernel

Indeed, the SCSI timeout setting alone can contribute 15 seconds per boot by itself. I forget what the default on that is, but whatever it is, it's fairly conservative and is almost certainly more than is needed.
 
folks...need to check my /etc/hosts i don't think is right:

Code: 
#
#
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts,v 1.16 2003/01/28 21:29:23 dbaker Exp $
#
# Host Database
#
# This file should contain the addresses and aliases for local hosts that
# share this file.  Replace 'my.domain' below with the domainname of your
# machine.
#
# In the presence of the domain name service or NIS, this file may
# not be consulted at all; see /etc/nsswitch.conf for the resolution order.

::1                     localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.my.domain
#
# Imaginary network.
#10.0.0.2               myname.my.domain myname
#10.0.0.3               myfriend.my.domain myfriend
#
# According to RFC 1918, you can use the following IP networks for
# private nets which will never be connected to the Internet:
#
#       10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255
#       172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255
#       192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255
#
# In case you want to be able to connect to the Internet, you need
# real official assigned numbers.  Do not try to invent your own network
# numbers but instead get one from your network provider (if any) or
# from your regional registry (ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, RIPE NCC, or AfriNIC.)

Looks like a default hosts file to me. What makes you think it's not correct?
 
this:

Code: 
This file should contain the addresses and aliases for local hosts that
# share this file.  Replace 'my.domain' below with the domainname of your
# machine.

Code: 
::1                     localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.my.domain
