Rebuilding A4000 need advice

You don't need anything connected to get the Kickstart screen. A green screen means bad chip RAM or Agnus, so check they are all seated properly and if possible swap them out from a known working machine. Also, make sure the jumpers on the mobo are correct for the CPU board you're using.

Depends on the version of Kickstart. For 3.1 it's around 30 seconds. For 3.0 it's a bit less than that. There's nothing you need to do. If the screen is any colour other than black during this delay, then something is wrong. If it stays black, then something is wrong. If it pauses for around 30 seconds on the black screen then shows the Kickstart screen, then this is fine.
