Yes, I bought the motherboard specifically for a slow BIOS cycle... ;-) |
| 6 |
Joke aside, I have a SAS raid card in the machine which probes the |
| 7 |
harddrives (four mechanical ones) which takes maybe half that time. I've |
| 8 |
been toying with the idea of replacing BIOS/UEFI with coreboot/seabios |
| 9 |
but time is lacking... :-( |
| 10 |
For the record, I've always felt BIOS have been slow... |

I recently bought 4 SSDs (Intel 520 60GB) and have them installed as |
| 15 |
/usr, /var and /tmp with one spare. However / is still on the SAS raid |
| 16 |
card and boot time has not improved by much with the SSD. It's matter of |
| 17 |
what crap you load at boot that will affect your boot time. |
