There is a long timeout (> 10sec) when booting without a LAN connection.
I am not sure if this only waiting for a dhcp response or if it would
happen even if my IP was static.
The behavior I'd like is to default to a specific static IP if I don't
get a dynamic assignment in 3 secs or so. Can I get this without a
kernel rebuild?
man dhclient.conf
See the "timeout" option. It looks like what you want.
I was wondering about this, too.
In gentoo, it goes to the background.. is that because they use some
other loader than sysvinit?
