My knowledge of bash is less than rudimentary, therefore I am not sure what |
| 9 |
this does - can you please explain (in plain English). Did you only |
| 10 |
have /dev/hdd mounted at the time of installation? What else is connected to |
| 11 |
the controller that hdd is connected to? |

That's rather a lot! I have certainly noticed that when /boot is installed in |
| 20 |
the last partition of relatively large disks it takes longer for grub to come |
| 21 |
up, but I am getting ~4sec on a 250G SATA, not >20sec like yours. |

I'd be interested to know if there is a solution. I had taken it as a given |
| 27 |
that if grub is not at the start of a disk it takes longer to boot. |
