define a long time. my machine is similiar. (300 @ 416, 256mb, 1x6gb ide, 1x9gb scsi, USB, FireWire, Pci Video card, os9.2.2) But I do not have anything plugged into a the serial port. When I hit the power, the chime is about 2 seconds after, and about 20 seconds after that the display comes on. And I don't have a problem with that at all.. I assumed it was the board doing various POST related things.
