I think, this can be a LILO problem. If you using lilo without the compact
option the floppy read will be _VERY_ long. So I think, we need to use
compact on rescue disks, but the README of lilo, says it may not work with
some hardwares. So what can we do? Work fast, but not all times, or work
slow, but always?
