Thanks for the chart. From that, I got bootchart's home page
(http://klika.si/ziga/bootchart/) and downloaded it. Loading
floppy.{ko,o} on floppyless laptops takes 4s... geez, it must try several
different methods to access the floppy drive, waiting for timeouts on each
one. Haven't tried to make it work yet, so I don't know what kind of
dependencies it has.
