here's my results for a 2400 running 8.6, 10Gb hitachi, newertech
g3/240/80MB. drive is formatted with drive setup 1.7.3. i'm curious to
see if drive setup 1.9.1 (or is it 1.9.2?) will improve boot time.
my best guess for others' slow boot times: 1) slow hard drive; 2) older
drivers; 2a) ram check disabled/enabled; 3) 180MHz processor.
note that mr. goolsbee's 2400/320 has an astonishingly fast boot time in
my experience, even when compared to a g4 desktop machine running 9.x.
perhaps he could mention the hard drive he's using...
