Lucky you !
(1) is 15 secs on my system(*), I mean what the fsck is it doing ????

It was <1 sec on C64 :-)
and even an amiga 2000 booted in about 1 sec from an add-on SCSI card !
( measured from RESET till the booting begun )

* - I have an Abit BH6 board with 64MB ram , Celeron 300A @ 450/100 MHz
