Fedora Core 3 doesn't boot in 0.8.0 binary. But it boots almost the same
speed in 0.8.1 binary as on Linux host.

I measured FC3 booting time without kqemu.
On WinXP host:
0.8.0 binary     can't boot.
0.8.1 binary    4min 15sec

On Linux host:
0.8.0           4min 15sec
0.8.1           4min  5sec


I measured Knoppix v3.8 booting time.
On WinXP host: fb800x600 desktop=icewm
0.8.0          5min 54sec
0.8.1          3min 4sec

I think the problem is not related to measuring time.
