AmigaOne X1000 booting AmigaOS4.1 Update 3

Not exactly fast at booting, is warm boot quicker?

It looks like booting BIOS takes 20 secs and then loading boot image another 20 secs. Then couple of seconds waiting to get into some boot menu. I dont know if that boot menu is some specific SW module.

0:19 BIOS setup finished
0:26 Starts loading boot image
1:04 System enters boot menu
1:17 Booting from boot menu (?)
2:03 Workbench

Couple of seconds is spent on waiting user input. It is slow considering typical boot time would be 30 seconds in total.

Well folks, you can spin it however you want but it does at least show progress is being made. Not long ago, the hardware was consigned to the vapourware cupboard after the (inevitable*) delays. Then when a few boards were spotted and it was said that it ran linux OS4.x for the board was dismissed as vapourware by many of the same people.

Hmm... wasnt it booting to full Workbench in that VCF event?

Anyway I noticed that booting BIOS was very slow. It took almost 20 seconds there. I dont know if it was cold booting and waiting for hard disks to spin up but that too was very slow otherwise.

I only saw videos of it running, not booting. I can imagine that booting spits out a lot more debug than once you're into normal operation.

Or is it just that KPrintF() wont return until the very last byte is transmitted to the serial port?

Also, I don't recall clearly, but wasn't that a different (earlier) board revision at VCF?

Would it make any difference? Proto boards are always different to zero production boards but specs are not changing (or should not change) much.
