Lately my iMac Flat Panel 800 Mhz takes over two minutes before the radial dial shows up during the boot process. After that it proceeds normally to the log-in screen. Has anyone experienced this sudden symptom?
I was sent this note on another list. I'm going to try this first.

Yesterday we detailed some startup issues - characterized by a stall at the gray Apple screen or a blank/black screen - after applying Apple's 2004-02-23 Security Update. We've now received reports a an additional minor issue and a potential workaround.

Finally I unplugged all USB/Firewire Devices and removed the additional RAM from my system. That got it going again. I did the fix-permissions thing, shut down, and put everything back in. This time it started up with no problems."
