Mohammad, The boot process should only take between 20 and 30 seconds.
Can you describe for us, which portion of the booting is slow ? There are several phases of the boot process. During the tftp, you should see dots (.) streaming across the screen. Do you see that ? If so, do they stream quickly ? Once the tftp is done, the kernel starts running. Do the kernel messages scroll quickly on the screen ? Are there messages on the screen at certain points where it seems to pause ? Are your workstations listed in the /etc/hosts file ? This can cause several pauses, while various services are trying to map a hostname to go along with the IP address.
