Does anyone know how to impliment a boot delay for opnsense but in excess of at least 60 seconds.
I lose power a lot at home (working on this) but if my modem, wifiap and opnsense all boot at the same time (power restored) I have no internet.
If I shut it off on its own, reboot it a few minutes after modem is up, all is good.
So a boot delay would be very handy for me.
wouldn't you be better off with a UPS? Your filesystem is going to get corrupted from sudden power cuts without a graceful shutdown.
Bart...
os-boot-delay emulates an ancient requirement... I think specifically for older PCEngines hardware.
Basically it sets the following tunable: kern.cam.boot_delay="10000"
But you can always deinstall it and add "kern.cam.boot_delay" with a value of the required milliseconds to delay boot from the GUI nowadays.
That being said the plugin should probably be retired in 22.7.

@franco as far as I can remember it was for some old flash storages that were not ready when the system tried to boot.
