You need a patch to enable the full-speed IDE support for this
chipset. You can get it at:

Aw, you can do a *lot* better... mine's a P5A, 128MB RAM, K62-400,
bogomips ~800, and I get just over 3 minutes. ;->
Of course, my system's pure SCSI. I assume you have an IDE drive -
once the patch is applied, you should see a boost in performance.
Look into "hdparm" to really get things cooking.
