Have a look at the System Manager Manual in /usr/share/doc/smm/*.

Binaries in /bin and /sbin are statically linked, as the shared
libs are not available until /usr is mounted.

I suppose it lasts approx. twice as long as on the TT. You may
gain a couple of minutes by mounting /tmp on an mfs, if you've
got some swap space left.
