Nine partitions on a 120Gb drive means 13.33Gb each (average). Do you have the appropriate IDE hardware/software to handle 13Mb virtual drives?
Each drive must be tested and validated before the system gets out of DOS and goes into the Startup-sequence, LoadWB, User-startup, etc. This obviously takes a bit of time. It could be several minutes if your software isn't optimised for 'Large' partitions (ie bigger than '4Gb').
