Two different boxes, both 550 Mhz. Last timed login: 17 seconds. Might
be a devfs problem. During boot:
Running DevFs daemon
displayed on the screen for 2 minutes, 19 seconds. 28 seconds later,
tty1 went blank as X started and changed to tty7. IOW, the devfs startup
message is gone considerably before X ever starts.
OS/2 Warp 4.52 boots in 79 seconds. W2K boots in 123 seconds. 9.0 takes
205 seconds to X login manager, 220 seconds to tty1 login prompt, 270
seconds until KDE is done loading, not counting time spent typing in a
password.
Total 9.0 boot time, 4.5 minutes, more than half of which is devfs init.
