[ale] slow floppies

I have a lilo boot disk and it boots up slowly on some machines.  I've noticed thin on Toshiba laptops and DG Avion boxes.  It can take as much as 3 minutes or more to load a 600k kernel.  On a nice clone, it can take less then 30 seconds to load that kernel.  Is there a setting that needs to be placed in the lilo.conf file?

Thanks,
Chris
