Ah sorry, that's a legacy of when I had considerably less ram than 2GB. I only 
use firewire on the rare occasion that I want to grab some video from my camera 
and I use the parallel port even less frequently. So one of the last things 
that happens in my rc.local init script is that I unload the related drivers.

When I was bisecting, I assessed good or bad based on whether I experienced the 
long pause during boot up. You may have seen my reply to James a short while 
ago that I have bisected again and arrived at the same patch.

Thanks,

Chris
