FreeBSD boots painfully slow on new servers with Intels Nehalem chipsets. You don't want to wait 180 seconds and more? Here's the solution, just add these two lines to your /boot/loader.conf and the boot time will significantly decrease: hint.atkbdc.0.disabled="1" hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1" The reason is that FreeBSD tries to find and initialize a PS/2 keyboard where no PS/2 is in the system at all. ■
