fyi, it was just looking at your
disk partitions so it could present
you with a list of drives to mount.
it doesn't actually walk directory trees, etc.
i'm not sure what hitting rubout accomplished
or why it took so long. it does copy the first
kilobyte of each drive into /tmp but that's
usually quite fast.
perhaps there was some non-existant drive waiting
for a timeout.
