There is a section in http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/TroubleShooting which mentions this problem: "Long Startup Time (hwclock): An excessively long start up time (20 min) may be an indication that the hwclock cant be set. Try to set the hwclock in your command prompt with $ sudo hwclock --systohc If this doesn't work you could try to change the NSLU2 battery." I had this same problem once. My fix was to remove the battery, short-circuit across the battery holder contacts for a few seconds to discharge any capacitors and then just replace the original battery. -- Bob Cox.
