FreeBSD's boot code reads the disk sector by sector rather than track by track. Last time I brought this up I was told that "it doesn't matter on modern drives"... I wouldn't be surprised if track-by-track turns out to be 18 times faster than sector-by-sector with USB drives. DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - des_at_des.noReceived on Fri Nov 28 2003 - 15:40:09 UTC
