Agree with this post here. Adding to this thought:
Outside of initial provisioning/firmware updates. This server should only need to reboot once a month for OS/firmware security updates and maintenance. Maybe less/more depending on your organizations security posture. OP said they’re running VM’s so I don’t understand the concern with the boot time. Once you provision the host you don’t really tinker with any setting unless your adding hardware to updating firmware/os.
If the boot time is really that big a deal, get a second host and setup replication/vmotion with your VM’s to eliminate the host boot time from affecting your uptime entirely.
JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee is at least partly right, it’s an Ethan Allen table from the 80’s. Link to below shows what it looks like with all it’s parts. This website also lists it as pine.
The internet wasn’t really a thing back then so it’s unlikely we’ll find much more unless there is a digitized catalog posted somewhere.
