What happens if you disconnect the third disk?

Just tried that. Same problem, so apparently it's not the physical
presence of the third disk.

Same delay without the extra disk, so that's not it.

FWIW here's the mdb output:

IRQ Vector IPL Bus Type CPU Share APIC/INT# Driver Name(s)

14 0x40 5 ISA Fixed 0 1 0x0/0xe ata#0

240 0xe0 15 IPI ALL 1 - xc_serv
241 0xe1 15 IPI ALL 1 - apic_error_intr

So it looks like SATA vs USB? There's also an hci1394 and an ohci,
which I suspect of being for FireWire. The only two wires plugged into
this box are the power cord and ethernet, i.e. no USB devices are
actually attached. Inside it are only the motherboard, disks, RAM, CD-
ROM, and a DVI adapter board plugged into a PCI slot, so I don't know
what I can do with the mdb information.

IIRC the BIOS has a "failsafe BIOS settings" profile as well as a more
aggressively tuned profile which is in use. I guess I could try the
failsafe BIOS settings. After that I'm out of ideas.

Is the system trying to mount an unavailable NFS share?
