Everyone who uses an apollo accelerator would be wise to install remapollo (from aminet, go find it yourself). It can softkick 3.1 to 3.9 in one go (softkick and patch in one reboot). It also supports a lot of the other patches people use, so should never be any need to reboot more than once on first bootup (which takes about 5 seconds on my 1240@40)
