Thanks a lot for all those who responded, all the advises centered around
'boot -v' from the ok prompt to see what the system was doing and sure
enough it was probing all the disks and controllers of the 2 A1000 arrays.
What threw me was that I disconnected the 2 A1000s and the system still took
the same time to boot, so I assumed that because of the presence of the RAID
drivers it did that. You can correct me on that. Here what I asked:
Dear managers,
