Why does it take forever for my BIOS to see that I have only one HD?

MSI K8T Neo w/AMI BIOS. I have one HD connected as master (jumpered as master too), nothing on the slave connector. Now when I boot it shows "auto-detecting primary master" and it takes a good 20 seconds to move past that. When I had a 2nd HD connected as slave it detected both very quickly.

I also have 2 WD Raptors in RAID-0 (SATA) that I boot from.

Any ideas? I couldn't find anything in the BIOS to make it skip auto-detecting the missing slave drive.
 
Single western digital drives(PATA), should be jumpered to single drive, if there is no slave present. SATA drives of course don't use jumper settings.
