I've seen 12 second-to-multiuser boots or less with linuxbios machines from power-on. I have a busybox linux+linuxbios box that boots in 5 seconds -- no /etc/rc nonsense in there though. This is the first box I've had that boots faster than an LCD can go from sleep mode to displaying. The problem now is idiot /etc/rc scripts. I have a k6 with normal bios that boots redhat 6 faster than a k7+linuxbios box -- the difference is the stupid scripts. Lots of 'sleep x' in those things. yuck. Actually there is some step in plan 9 that makes my PCs take forever to boot. Don't know what it is. But they don't typically boot faster than Linux for me. I like Plan 9 but fast boots is not something I've seen in use. ron
