Slow startup issue on MacBook Air running Yosemite
Hi. My mac is starting slowly, taking about a minute. It seems to get held up in the blank screen phase after the power-on self test. It's not a massive issue but is annoying and a solution would be great. Thanks.
Problem description:
Slow startup.
