the floppy timeout, something like this:
for dev in *; do
if ! regexp "\(fd[0-9]\)" $dev; then
for part in ($dev,*); do
I can see how to c

"echo *" takes about 12 seconds on my system (PC, BIOS, empty floppy drive)

"search --no-floppy" probably hits the same delay (not verified) since
it has to
generate the partition names before it can discard fd[0-9]
