Booting from floopy slow

[Antonio Rodriguez]

I installed Debian slink in a second hard drive, which is hdb1 (there
are hda1 to hda4), my system does not allow booting from a slave hard
drive, so I use the floppy system, but it is very slow. What can I do to
accelerate it? Is there any command to type that will speed it, say
redirect it to hdb1? When I made the installation I also enabled booting
from hard disk.
Thanks,
Antonio
