Boot in 15.3 seconds

Warm Reset in 10 seconds.

My Win7 4.8GHz quad core with 8GB RAM and SATA 3 does 7 seconds.

We'd kill it with a SATA3 controller!

Space taken after a full installation of AmigaOS4.1_4 = 340.5MB (with a few extra utilities)

Win7 has filled a 160GB SATA disk after a Sketchup and Team Fortress 2 installation.

A quote from Ben Hermans on IRC in 2011 :

16s long? I think you never used Windows Vista.

I got mine down to 9 seconds warm boot or so running at default speed of 533mhz.
This was after removing/changing a few lines in startup sequence. I think it uses a few extra seconds now with update4 though.

And this was using a 250gig sata disk i found in trash years ago.

What i noticed from this video though is that mine seems to load the kickstart files a bit faster.

@TheDaddy

very nice video. in part two if you could add some audio, or at least some sub-titles, that would be terrific. by the way what is the name of that case? it looks to be designed for mini-ITX boards, but seems big enough (perhaps) for those of us with the flex-ATX boards as well. i'm using an ANTEC NSK-1380, which is nice enough, but still a little large for my liking. that looks much more like i had hoped to find!

@thread

to keep out discussion not directly related to the original poster's intent, i've opened a new thread to discuss boot times. please post there (if you'd like, of course) on startup time improvements and measurements.

by koft on 29-Jan-2012 10:12:12 @TheDaddy You did an install then the update? Was the boot time faster before the update? Surely there's something one could tweak to make it start up faster. I have an eMac with MorphOS and that sucker boots up almost instantly.


Os4 boot time is slower since update 3 yes, this has been well documented on these forums.

MOS does boot a lot faster yes, but it doesn't have to wait for uboot.

Why should anyone reset his computer when it is running?

It's a generic cube mini-itx only case, it is very good. I replaced the power supply with a picoPSU one for maximum quietness!

I have removed the video and updated the latest version, I have edited the booting times, now a lot faster with DMA enabled!

15.3 secs from Kickstart

and

10 secs from Warm reboot (CTRL+A+A)

So the updated version is in post #1

Maybe you have downloaded a program in the Ram Disk and want a quick way to clear the system. You have applied some changes using the Prefs?

Maybe you are working on a project (a picture, a 3D rendering a document) and you have decided you want to start again, maybe it has crashed, it happens often, and instead of going:

Start (d'oh)/Restart (D'oh) and wait for it to reboot I can be back into Workbench pressing three keys, cool hey?

You could just delete those files.

Do you really change your settings so often? What are those settings that need reboot anyway?

And restart all my 4 AmIRC clients, 3 Scribble editors and 5 browser windows again? No thanks.

Of course on Amiga it can't be avoided but I'd prefer to not reboot my computers ever. It is annoying to get any system back to its original state before reboot.

True. But since I can do it I will

>>Do you really change your settings so often? What are those settings that need reboot anyway?

I like messing about with the Prefs, a lot

>>And restart all my 4 AmIRC clients, 3 Scribble editors and 5 browser windows again? No thanks.

But can't you just have them starting in start-up sequence so you don't have to do that?

>>Of course on Amiga it can't be avoided but I'd prefer to not reboot my computers ever. It is annoying to get any system back to its original state before reboot.

Matter of opinion of course but all in all it's about being proud of some little things AmigaOS can do

@amigasociety

MPlayer to play the movies.

Considering that it's a 666MHz less powerful than my netbook, it does perform nicely indeed

@TheDaddy

But what format are these movies? I take it this is not DVD you are playing but ripped movies?

Just curious what format movies are in since I have never played one on an amiga.

Also what app you used to rip the movies form DVD.
