Amazing boot time on A4000

I just installed a CF card with PFS3 and Workbench 3.1

I'm curious, you said 3.1 but is that just workbench or are you using Kickstart 3.1 roms aswell? I remember 3.0 roms were way faster to boot.

The delay added to KS3.1 can be removed or altered when burning ROMs. It was introduced when multi platter rotating media (HDDs) started talking longer to POST resulting in disks not being detected

Can both delays increased in 3.1 be removed?

- The substantially increased delay to start booting from other media or showing the insert disk anim if no disk is present. I think it changed from 12 to 30 seconds with 3.1.

- The smaller increased delay to start booting if disk is present. 3.0 starts booting more or less instantly after ctrl-Amiga-Amiga is released if a disk is present, super aggressive, very nice, but with 3.1 there is a slight but noticeable delay.

How is 3.2 rom boot time compared to Commodore roms?

Unsure.

There was a modification to scsi.device created as patch for either MAPROM (warm boot only) or burning a kickstart EPROM using ROMsplit & Remus.

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=639772&postcount=5

NOTE: This was a long time ago, there are probably much newer versions of scsi.device (and AmigaOS) so if you were burning a ROM it's unlikely you'd use this method.

[Update: I think this is the first delay you mentioned. I don't know about the 2nd]
