I'm reposting this as there has been no response and the box still 
exhibits the original problems.  Make world is about 12 hours old from a 
recent cvsup.  Original message follows.  Any ideas?  cheers 

I have one box which is slow to boot under -current (mind you, I've never 
run anything but -current on this box).  In my previous message, there 
were two excessively long pauses.  One after ata0 appears and another 
after ata-isa0 appears.  I've been able to eliminate one of these pauses.  
I removed this from my kernel:

device          ata1    at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15

All times are approximate (I had to count, no watches to hand). 

This is written on the motherboard: P/I-P55TP4XE. 

tia folks. 

Here's dmesg after a boot -v.
