Virtualbox is taking a long time to boot. This does not happen when
booting from the CD image (well, anyboot image), only when booting from
a
virtual hard drive. And it doesn't happen with my Linux VM (BunsenLabs).
Note Virtualbox is considerably faster if you don't log the serial port…

Wow, that made a big difference! It got to the
I-don't-know-what-to-call-it screen with the Haiku name and the 7 boot
icons almost right away, instead of leaving me with a black screen for a
long time.
(It was still a bit slow after that, but nothing compared to what it was
like with serial port logging turned on.)
By the way, I've had serial port logging turned on for a couple years, but
I first noticed this behavior when switching to a beta1 RC. I hadn't
updated for maybe a year before that, so I don't know when it happened -
maybe if I'd been updating regularly, I would have seen a gradual increase
in boot time.
I'm going to leave the serial port off unless I need to check it. (Which,
hopefully, with the beta now out, will not be very often.)
One more thing - I checked with a 64-bit VM that also had serial port
logging turned on, and it was still slow to boot, but not quite as slow as
the 32-bit. Does 64-bit not print as much to the serial port? Or maybe
because I'm using a 64-bit host, the VM runs a bit faster?
