I'd be more concerned about the errors than I would about the slow boot times.  Assuming the error isn't generated by some setting or issue with software in your Startup-Sequence, or dodgy cabling and/or CF adapter, I'd try replacing with a different CF.  Make sure to set the size of your SYS: partition to within the first 4GB (IMHO I keep mine at <500MB), etc.

Select your partition, then click on the "Change..." button, then:

ok so now my max transfer rate is set at 0x00FFFFF, I've read that that is should be 0x1fe00 BUT if I change this figure now will I lose/ affect existing data??

Yes, you can change this without loosing data.  It only changes the size of the "blocks" of data being transferred to a smaller amount.

also, noticed my scsi.device is v40.12 and I have installed BB1 and 2 so it should be v43.43??....so can I just copy over v43.43 from BB2 over and all ok?

I wouldn't waste your time with 43.43, just go for the newest version.  If you have a copy of OS4.1 the latest version from off the 4.1 install floppy (52.3) will work on your system, as well.  I just learned that tip here on this forum a couple months ago!  :)

Also, before you get too far along in modding your existing system, you might want to check this out, as well. :D

btw, does this max transfer rate also apply to a SCSI2SD board I have attached to my Cyberstorm MKIII onboard scsi as that board doesn't use scsi.device but rather cybppc.device??

Yes.  The device name isn't relevant in this case (whether it's gvpscsi.device, omniscsi.device, or whatever), the MaxTransfer value needs to be set for each device & partition independently.  Use that value for anything that is IDE or has a CF/SD card in it.  If you have a SCSI drive connected to a SCSI controller, you can go higher.
