Very impressive and great job!  It's nice to see this instead of just another "use OS 3.1 post" when asking about how to speed up 3.9.

Questions:

* Looks like your bootup time is considerably faster than my 1200's CF card.  I was wondering if you could post your startup-sequence so I could compare.

* I have the B1260 card as well and I am not using blizkick because I thought the card does this ROM->RAM mapping automatically if the jumper is set.  A little confused on this.

-- edit: I wish we had a central site or main FAQ that this kind of great info.  One of the most frustrating things for returning Amiga users (like myself) is trying to find info on the net.  My knowledge had stopped at ks2.0 and this has been the biggest hurtle for me.
So many really old FAQs that have dead links or outdated information.

@AmigaDave:

I've been a little distracted with my 4000T setup recently.  My 1200 came preconfigured with OS3.9 from Amigakit.  Installing OS3.1 onto a CF card from scratch was a very serious endeavor for me.  

My 1200:   B1260 w/128mb, IDE CF-card (AmigaKit), Subway USB, Indivision AGA->Acer AL2216W, Logitech USB->PS2->Cocolino, Linksys EtherLink III, AmiTCP (same version as network boot disk).  Right now I have BB1 & 2 and recently installed MagicWB (which nags me now).  

I will DL the latest BB#3 and report back.
