holly crap, it took 1 minute to boot!

And it is a 68060...


Thank you for the video.

But it certainly shows the sorry state of Aros68k :(

Hueh? :confused:


How much does your Amiga take too boot AmigaOS? An entire minute is definately too much for a 68060. It seems Aros68k needs lots of love in the optimization department.

it seems you forget that most of Amiga OS is in the roms?

also it boots scalos so when judging it you must stop when scalos shows up


Fair enough then, so is there a way to burn this Aros68k rom in a chip?

Important is how it behaves when running

Judging something at the boot time is very "amigan", nobody else outside would even care about


Yes, it is absolutely true. But that has to be with the fact that we dont use Amigas like servers or tablets or phones that need to be online 24 hours a day. So I would say it is a justified expectation from an Amiga point of view to boot in rather short time. Still 46 seconds to the Scalos bootlogo is still too much for a 68060. I can only imagine a 68030 user just waiting forever, and lets not even care about a 68020 one.

All in all, to be fair, system responsiveness seems adequate when the system has already booted and loaded.

So hopefully things will get better.

the more people will use it, give feedback and even contribute to the development the faster it will improve

in this sense... it can only (and will) improve

Certainly one of the benefits of being open source :)

@wawrzon

Please dont compare it with OS4, as it is totally unrelated and bloated compared to original AmigaOS. For example, you need at least 32MB of ram just to boot!

On my 3.1 setup, which includes a custom built rom, my boot time is about 15 seconds or so, and it is an A1200 with a 68030, nothing too fancy, and using just its internal IDE port.

There is certainly something wrong (or highly inefficient) with your current 3.9 setup. Watch the video (he is not using a rom based kickstart, so your times should be even better)
