Comment(by axeld):

 Alpha 2 actually includes a device level cache for CDs - this makes
 booting as well as installing Haiku from CD really fast on the machine I
 tested it with. I haven't compared it to BeOS, but I don't remember it
 being particularly fast, even though it contained much less software than
 Haiku does.

 With today's hardware, though, it's no wonder that Haiku can be built
 faster than installed from CD: CDs are slow, and I can build a complete
 Haiku image in less than 4 minutes.

 Since BeOS cannot not run on your hardware, I wonder if you used a virtual
 machine to install it?

 In any case, Haiku should install pretty fast since alpha 2. If it doesn't
 for you (you actually do not give any clue how long it takes for you),
 there is probably something wrong.
