@J-Golden:
Atleast the just the IDE-interface will give you a 30 second boot delay on a normal A4000. Try connecting a working ide-drive that is amiga partitioned and formatted and see if it boots faster. If so the issue is the ide-interface and building one of
these will solve your problem.
Oh, just remembered another solution. You can disable the motherboard ide-interface and or scsi-interface by software which will only leave you with one delay - the first time you power up, on the following boots there will be no delay. Until you power it off again ofcourse.
If you have a CyberStormPPC/MK3, this can be done via the accelerators bootmenu ("SCSIPatch" and "NCR SCSIPatch"). If you havent, you can disable atleast the ide-interface via something like
this.
