re: i think it crashed.

why does it take a good 30sec at least to probe the IDE hardware?
i have ATAPI in the kernel, except for that, the boot squence would be
blazing fast.

if i boot and someone walks past the computer i usually get asked:
"it locked up?"

i don't see anything in LINT to shorten the time it takes to probe the IDE
devices, any suggestions?
