If DHCP makes the system boot slowly, then it's not FreeBSD's fault. DHCP
addresses are acquired very quickly if the DHCP server is working properly
and not overloaded.
Even with a slow DHCP server, I've seldom seen it take longer than a few
seconds. What is your usage case that this is such a concern?
