Hello Detlef,
There is a simple fix really, the problem with some Thinkpad's is they have
legacy floppy support enabled in the bios-settings, while there is no floppy
in the machine. Just disable this in the bios, and the problem is solved
after that. The boot time will then again be normal.
Best regs,
Chris.

Only two things in life are infinite: the stupidity of mankind, and the
universe,
and I'm not certain about the second one...
