Mine takes ages - 1 1/2 mins from cold boot. I have all the IDE buses full though and my wbstartup drawer is also bursting

| @terminator3 Well...can't really say what i have done....My memory is short... Can't find the text files where I saved the info..
When I bought this A1 my cold boot was 2,5 minutes...so I found some "tips" here and for some reason the IDE controller was set to both...changed it to Primary...I only have one hd and CDRW so I belive that cut some of the time...
I'm sure someone else could give you examples how to cut the boot time... Some has even shorter boot time than I...

I think that is what i'm getting (I do not want to time it exactly as I only would get mad lol).
I wonder what we can do to improve it? (I have the OS4 prerelease cd) ANYONE??? |

Here is what I cut and paste from OS4-ml :
How can I speedup the boot process ? If you have missing devices, there is a 20-second timeout each time it comes to a "hole" so connect something (an old drive, for instance) to that position. Also, if you have Ethernet connected to a DHCP server, it takes several seconds to negotiate the DHCP connection. You can do this in parallel by editing your Startup-Sequence to say "C:Run >NIL: AddNetInterface (etc)". The boot time is not affected much by disk access speed. At the U-Boot prompt type: 'setenv bootdelay 1' and then 'saveenv' it makes UBoot countdown from 1 instead of 5. Set the baudrate of the serial/debug port higher by typing at the U-Boot prompt 'setenv baudrate 115200' and then again 'saveenv'.
I dont know by how much it improves since I am mostly using debian/linux (without DMA, as you may have noticed in the other thread). Lio

" Reboot doesn't work :( "
Try this - press ctrl-amiga-amiga (or ctrl-windows-windows) momentarily then sit back and wait about 10 secs. Does it reset now? _________________ AmigaONE XE G4 ____________________ |

If I remember this correct...
setenv bootdelay 0 setenv menuboot_delay 3 saveenv
Don't set them both to zero... And...
setenv baudrate 115200 saveenv
Thats what I have done... _________________ AmigaOne G4 800Mhz, A1200TPPC 040/33 240Mhz, 2 A2000, A600,A600HD A500,A500+ and so on.....AmigaOS4.1....1500-2000 games!? And yeap, it's my dog...16 years old in 2015 |

not at all, broadband here but the baudrate do make a difference during the boot process, since you could capture the output if you connect the serial to another computer. By default, it is 9600. Lio |

That also works if you don't have DHCP. AddNetInterface always takes a few seconds, and if you "C:Run" it instead of simply executing it, workbench will continue to boot.
I take 40 seconds to cold boot and about 12 to reboot, and I didn't tweak anything but the AddNetInterface._________________ Seriously, if you want to contact me do not bother sending me a PM here. Write me a mail |

I timed mine just a bit ago; I get 45 seconds from cold boot, with no tweaking for time. :3 Not bad, I'd venture. |
