An output of the actual boot would probably help. Where does it pause? Are
there any lines trying to reset the USB device or indicating read errors?

 

I found 1.2b6 was significantly slower (30 seconds) than 1.2b5 but then
1.2b6 is FreeBSD 5 based and I'm using a different CF card so it could be
nothing to do with m0n0wall.

Subject: [m0n0wall] Sloooow bootup on Via Epia board?

 

Hello there, 

I just installed m0n0 (tried 1.2b5 & b6) on an USB 2.0 Stick and booted from
it via my Via Epia MII Board, and everything's working fine but I have one
major problem: booting takes -forever- (5-10minutes). I've attached the
output of the status.php site in the .zip file.

<<status.zip>> 

Is there anything I can do? Do you need any more information? 

 

Best regards / MfG,
