If it would have taken 15 minutes to boot the GS, something was
definitely wrong. When I netboot my GS from my netatalk+a2boot server,
it takes longer than booting from a hard drive but less or at worst
about the same amount of time as booting from a floppy.

Did you have any other devices plugged into your Localtalk segment
when booting the GS from your os8.5 machine?
