How to stop Deneb splash screen

[Darrin]

There's a jumper you can set to disable the Deneb Flash ROM on boot.  Try that.

So I guess the only remaining question is, if I'm not planning to boot from a USB device, do I really need to store anything in the flash rom at all?

Short answer:  No.

The only thing I actually have on my ROM are the two modules to stop my floppy clicking and to disable the IDE port on the A4000 motherboard to speed up booting (I have a FastATA4000).

Ok, I have the following in my FlashROM:
romupdate.idtag
exec.library
denebpiousb.device
massstorage.class
serialcp210x.class
asixeth.class
pegasus.class
stir4200.class
palmpda.class
bluetooth.class
serialpl2303.class
printer.class
cdcacm.class
dm9601eth.class
ethwrap.class
rawwrap.class
moschipeth.class
poseidon.library
rtl8150eth.class
hub.class
input.device
hid.class
egalaxtouch.class
camdusbmidi.class
simplemidi.class
dfu.class
bootmouse.class
bootkeyboard.class
PsdStackLoader
NCR scsi.device
scsi.device
console.device
ptp.class
bootmenu
FastFileSystem
usbaudio.class
usbvideo.class
shell
ram-handler

This amounts to all the Poseidon files (probably several that don't need to be there) and the 3.9 modules (with some patches from Aminet applied). My machine is a 4000T, so your list will look a little different if you go this route. With these in place, I changed the SetPatch line in my startup-sequence to be C:SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET. This allows the system to boot straight through without requiring the reboot after SetPatch usually loads in the ROM Update.

I think the old SCSI controller on the 2091 means you'll still be looking at a rather long boot, but this will probably save you a small chunk of time.

Thanks for that Matt.  I'll have a go at tweaking my Deneb setup for my A4000.

@ Mfilos:

So only the items in blue are essential to get rid of the OS3.9 "double boot"?

Thanks.  I'll give it a go when I get back from this trip.  It should shave a few seconds off my boot time.
