<para>Why does &os; pause for a long time at boot when the
system has large amounts of ram?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>&os; 10.1 and earlier executes a memory test early
in the boot process.
When the system has a small amount of memory, the test
takes a few seconds. Computers with tens or hundreds of
gigabytes of memory can take several minutes to complete
the test. The memory test can be disabled by adding
<literal>hw.memtest.tests=0</literal> to
<filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename>.</para>
