00:44:18 <cybercrypto> Hi there.  is background_dhclient="YES" the best way to instruct freebsd to continue boot even if NIC's are failling to get ip via dhcp?
00:46:06 <aaron> is the kernel stalling if the nics cant get dhcp?
00:46:43 <aaron> or are you just prompt to continue
00:48:15 <cybercrypto> aaron: no. boot is taking longer due to NIC carrier failure (about extra 6min due to link transport waiting.
00:50:05 <aaron> is the box not connected to a network?
00:50:50 <aaron> I ask because I would just set it to static for the time being unless youre having netowkr issues as well
00:51:00 <cybercrypto> aaron: I want to understand best way to instruct bsd to continue boot, independently if NIC fails or not.
00:51:38 <cybercrypto> aaron: also exploring -b as network dhcp flag
00:52:40 <aaron> so maybe synchronous waiting is the issue
00:53:26 <aaron> I think in the rc.conf file you set netwait or sync_dhcp to disable
00:55:02 <cybercrypto> aaron: good stuff, I will read about it.
