as far as i remember (it was a year ago, but should still hold) the problem
with booting speed came from the fact that you have no plan9.ini to feed
9load with. when it doesn't know what to boot it probes everything (and
sometimes probes it anyways -- just to be able to prompt you with choices)..
i just tried this -- a cpuserver under vmware boots to prompt in 17 seconds
with me hitting enter at the prompt and 27 seconds when the prompt timeouts.
that's with a local harddrive...
only my theory, though. i'd be happy to hear other opinions :)
