However, a full minute seems excessive to me (although I'm not as well versed in the world o' beige G3s as most of the listers).
How does one turn off RAM checking in OS 9.x?

I have two beige G3/266s on which I have installed 10.2.8. When the beige with 576M ram starts up, the screen remains black for almost a minute after the startup chime. When I start up the beige with only 128M of ram, the screen comes on almost immediately.
Is the difference caused by OSX checking the ram at startup?
If so, is there a way to turn off the ram check a la OS9?
As always, any advice is appreciated.
