Ok, I did that and it works. Booting is now just as fast as it was before.

However, I run into new problems now. If the GVP's autoboot jumper is
removed, and binddrivers is used, my machine seems to recognize the drive
only AFTER the WB has been loaded (after the loadwb command that is).

Because I do a lot of assigns and path commands in the user-startup that
point to the drive on the GVP, this doesn't work anymore.

Is there a way around this? How can I make the machine recognize the drive
before loadwb?

Thanks for your help! Not only the booting has sped up, some other problems
disappeared as well (I had loads of cheksum errors on the GVP drive. They
are gone now :)
