Its hard to tell whats going on with the OS boot from their video of the glass console because of the endemic information hiding prevalent in OSes these days. God forbid that you have some kind of progress indicator, or even text (the horror! we might confuse users!)
In my case, I was booting FreeBSD, and I don't remember having boot much slower on this box than it does on Intel Xeon or AMD Rome once the EFI bios finally handed off to the FreeBSD efi boot loader.
- qubex 6y agoI commiserate with you. For the past fifteen years or so I’ve set my macs to verbose boot because I want to see what’s going on and where they seize up (if indeed that happens). Doesn’t happen often but in the few occasions it has it’s really saved my bacon.
