[mod.computers.vax] microVAX II boot time

A0061@DK0RRZK0.BITNET (11/01/86)

We have a microVAX II with 9 Mbyte (webster-)memory. It takes up to
about 10 minutes until users can login after booting. It there any way
to shorten that time ? What happens during that (long) time ?
I understand that the 7..6..5..4..3..2..1..0 takes some time, but after
VMS takes control, things should be set up faster possibly, bypassing
any any tests etc. ...
Any ideas ?

Many greetings from Cologne ..                    ^    ^
