Hello All,
How can I disable the scan for IDE drives so I can speed up the boot time?
Do you have 6.1. For me it speeded things up considerably.
Starting the IDE driver is taken care of by “diskboot”. This program also
does lot’s
of other magic. There is a build file that was posted a while ago. Work
nice for me.
i haven’t tried it with 6.1 though as I don’t really need it.
This sets up the kernel and proc.
- x86 based kernel using the bios.boot to set things up.
- Compression is turned on.
- Use startup-bios to finish setting up the machine.
- Start procnto after startup-bios is finished.
[virtual=x86,bios +compress] boot = {
startup-bios -v
PATH=/proc/boot:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/proc/boot:/lib:/lib/dll:/usr/lib:/usr/photon/dll procnto -v
}
Once procnto is running it will mount the image filesystem and
run this script.
