- Depends on what install option you chose. If you took the defaults, then
- you are first doing a check for a CD32 bootable cd - and going through
- several layers of batch files - before getting back to startup-sequence.
- And only then getting to user-startup for the check of each scsi address
- to see what's there (try removing the checks for each address that you
- know is empty). On the other hand - the extra 10 seconds can be
- tolerated if you want to keep the ability to throw in a CD32 cd and have
- it autoboot.
