I have provisions for 2 SATA drives. Even BIOS checks for that while POST. But mdk 9.1 while booting checks for hde and hdf for quit considerable time. with fb mode it looks as if it hangs. This happens now after reinstallation of mdk9.1 yesterday. Before that it didn't happen like that. I would like to avoid that. Any solution is appreciated.
I have the same motherboard and as I don't have any SATA drrives I was able to get
around the consderable boot time by changing the jumper pin on the motherboard to
disable the SATA controller. Boot up time has been reduced significantly.
