False.
3.9 already does this and it so fast it is almost undetectable when booting from CF.
False.
Just about everybody that uses 3.9 IS softkicking (except the 3 people that have burned their own 3.9 rom). So this seems very unlikely.
True, but we are talking about people wanting to use a 3.9 kickstart. If you are using 3.9 you have a ram expansion.
Again this is ridiculous. First of all the kickstart ROM will always be on the motherboard. If your harddrive crashed I think the last thing you would worry about would be a kickstart image file.
This whole posts sounds like you are posting fud.
I am sorry if you felt it that way, but it was not apersonal attack on you, it is based on facts:
Loading only a few modules like the AmigaOS ROm Update does, it is not the same as softkicking an entire kickstart. And having a rom with all the updates you want is much faster than loading them from disk anytime. Try it.
And again if your harddrive fails for some reason, you will end up with your old kickstart, with all the bugs and unsuported features it has, just to name a few examples: no >4GB disk access and no USB support, etc. So for example, if you relied on USB to boot with mouse and keyboard, then you simply will have to buy an Amiga mouse and proper Amiga keyboard, because your USB ones, wont work.
And not everyone that uses 3.9, softkicks. Many arent able to use Rom Updates at all.
