Some boot delays explained:

(1) Previous system booted from EIDE drive. SCSI now booting: Answer - EIDE drive buss "seek" still performed, delays boot by 30-45 secs. Need to install short EIDE cable with the proper wire jumpers and resistors. EMAIL me for the txt file.
(2) Too many partitions and devices. Each drive partition and device is "seeked" to determine location of boot flag. Answer: Re-think your partitions. Remove tendency to create backup partitions that mirror others. If you must do this, use ONE partition and then create directories (backupDH0: backupDH1:) within.
Won\'t hide my location.
