> But my router supplying DHCP and with info about where it should look takes guessing 3 minutes. And the NAS containing the actual files that the Pi should load is in a virtual machine that takes, guessing, 8 minutes for the hypervisor and VM to start. And thats why people get paid to manage networked devices, if a contingency event occurs and the network doesnt come up properly, then its not setup properly. Logical thinking is one of the things the RPi makes people engage in, not superstition.
