I am guessing that the bootup sequence is polling for HD's or other peripherals, which is what is making it take a long time?

Hopefully someone knows if this is just normal or not. I do not know much about the A600 :)

 


The delay is normal.
KS 3.1 has a boot delay to check for IDE devices. If you've got no IDE HD connected then the delay takes about 30 secs.
The delay is there because there are some harddisks that take a long time to spin up when you power on the system.

You can get an A4000 IDE terminator from Amigakit, but I don't know if it works/is recommended for any other Amiga IDE.

I think it's better to install an IDE HD or CF-IDE adapter + CF card.
The delay will be gone and he won't have to use slow floppy disks to use his system.
