Sorry, I have no idea why this happens. I used grub only once, but at |
| 23 |
least I know it it did not take hours, it was about 1-2 seconds, or maybe |
| 24 |
even less, I did not stop the time :) |

Is there something in syslog when you run this, or are the -v arguments |
| 26 |
that would make the process more verbose? |

The old grub sometimes paused for around a minute because it searched for |
| 29 |
the floppy, the --no-floppy switch speeded this up. |
