I have seen a few remarks on the boot time for 4.0.  This is strange,
because mine seems about the same.  Also, it seems to have a rather long
delay about halfway through the boot process.  I can't figure out what it
is... i know if the zip is attached (parallel port) it is checked during
this interval, but something else is going on that seems to slow my machine
down.  Is there a way of figuring it out?

Under 3.4, there was a check for 2 IDE drives in GENERIC, and when this was
removed, the boot process was significantly faster.  But i did not see such
an option for 4.0 to disable probing a second IDE, if that is even the
issue.  Any ideas?
