Isnt the Fast ATA supposed to "bypass" the 4GB limitations barrier?

@Gavilan
Only by splitting the drive into 4gb partitions iirc.

Aren't you supposed to hook up devices in the order:
1 device  = Primary master
2 devices = Primary master + Secondary master
3 devices = Primary master, primary slave + Secondary master
4 devices = Primary master + slave, secondary master + slave
?

Long way around of saying: try putting the cdr as the secondary master, and see if that helps.

Also - if are you using 3.1 roms with no device attached to the internal a1200 ide connector it may be the delay (approx 30 seconds per boot?) is the internal ide bus scan.  You could try building an idekill device (see aminet), or just install something (anything) as master on the internal ide bus.
