>Description:
I've created usb flash drive with FreeBSD system using nanobsd script.
Everything works well except that after the BIOS starts booting and before I see first messages from BTX loader approximately one minute passes with blank screen without doing anything. It was tested on several different motherboards, new ones and old ones.
That is a problem. It has to start booting fast.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just boot FreeBSD from USB flash drive.
