Are you aware that the parallel starting in Solaris 10 reduced the  
booting time by a nice percentage? If yes, do you expect that FreeBSD  
behaves significantly different or do you "just" want to see numbers?

Sidenote: Even if there's no significant speedup, the possibility to  
start things in parallel should be provided, this would allow more  
experimentation (at all respectively later).

Bye,
Alexander.
