I have another approach if you have multiple SCSI disks.
I have six, and they are set to start only when the SCSI controller starts
them. When booting Linux it starts one at a time and you can see that
happening on the screen. When it starts each SCSI controller, it pauses as
it goes through the list of 16-1 devices on each SCSI controller and you can
time them with a stopwatch. Two of my SCSI hard drives have a little relay
or something in them so you can hear this click. The other SCSI hard drives
are small (17+ Gigabytes) and they make no sound at all.
It may be that the manufacturer of your hard drive(s) publishes this
information and if so, you could just look it up. It is not very long (5
seconds or so IIRC).
