Why use 60 sec on da0 during boot?

Wed Nov 9 07:08:54 PST 2005

Fresh new ProLiant dl380 2 CPU/dual core
Fresh new FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE  

During boot I arrive at

da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <COMPAQ RAID 1  VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device 
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 34727MB (71122560 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 8716C)

then nothing happens for about 60 seconds and then everything proceedes as 
usual (starting daemons, mounting NFS-disks etc.)

During the period the lights are on on both disks and floppy-station.

I had some problems during install with the partitioning of the disk. When i 
chose to use the rest of the disk for the last partition I got an error 
message along the lines of "Disk too large" (don't remember the exact 
wording). I got around this by pressing 'A' and letting the installer choose 
the partition sizes.

Is this a problem with the disk layout? Where shall I begin the debugging?
