How to stop Deneb splash screen

[Darrin]

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.

Ok based on Matt_H's list I'm making the following comments for you to understand better

romupdate.idtag --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update
exec.library--> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update
denebpiousb.device  --> Since you use an A2000, you need instead the denebz2usb.device, but ONLY if you want USB support on boot
massstorage.class  --> Needed only if you need to boot from USB on boot
serialcp210x.class  --> Not needed
asixeth.class  --> Not needed
pegasus.class  --> Not needed
stir4200.class  --> Not needed
palmpda.class  --> Not needed
bluetooth.class  --> Not needed
serialpl2303.class  --> Not needed
printer.class  --> Not needed
cdcacm.class  --> Not needed
dm9601eth.class  --> Not needed
ethwrap.class  --> Not needed
rawwrap.class  --> Not needed
moschipeth.class  --> Not needed
poseidon.library --> Needed only if you want USB support on boot (storage, hid, etc)
rtl8150eth.class  --> Not needed
hub.class  --> Needed only if you want USB support on boot
input.device  --> Needed only if you want USB support on boot (keyboard/mouse)
hid.class  --> Needed only if you want USB support on boot (keyboard/mouse)
egalaxtouch.class  --> Not needed
camdusbmidi.class  --> Not needed
simplemidi.class  --> Not needed
dfu.class  --> Not needed
bootmouse.class  --> Needed only if you want USB support on boot (keyboard/mouse)
bootkeyboard.class  --> Needed only if you want USB support on boot (keyboard/mouse)
PsdStackLoader --> Needed if you want USB support and MUST be your saved config that works!
NCR scsi.device  --> Not needed since you have an A2000
scsi.device  --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update
console.device  --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update
ptp.class  --> Not needed
bootmenu  --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update
FastFileSystem  --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update
usbaudio.class  --> Not needed
usbvideo.class  --> Not needed
shell  --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update
ram-handler  --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update

Also you need as well:
Filesystem.resource  --> Needed. Exists on OS3.9 Update

Optionaly you can put modules like:
NoClick  --> Disables the mouse click noise
BBlank  --> Disables the grey border putting a blank one (on native modes)

Much fun ahead

@ Mfilos:

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

@Darrin
Aye mate. Since all modules are loaded from Flash, there is no need to get loaded again from the file "AmigaOS ROM Update" that resides in DEVS folder (via SetPatch).
Then you'd only need to do some alterations...

- First, edit your Startup-Sequence (make a backup copy just to be sure) and you need to replace the line of SetPatch with the following:

Code: [Select]

C:SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET- Also (for safety reasons) you can rename the file "AmigaOS ROM Update" under DEVS to something else (for example: "AmigaOS ROM Update.bak").
- You're set

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

Thanks very much fo the clarification.  Unless this is going to significantly reduce my boot time (like in half or so), I may just leave well enough alone this time.

Right now I'm trying to get the Bridgeboard to play nice with the 2632.  It appears that the Bridgeboard refuses to start unless you do the "2632" command after tclicking on the "PC Color" icon.  My other project at the moment is to get Samba running, which is looking like the ocmputational equaivalent of landing a man on the moon.

But I guess if it was easy, everybody would be doing it :-)
