                   FastBoot 030 v0.4beta
                   ---------------------

History:
   Being a very poor guy, I couldn't afford an internal IDE harddrive for my
F030. After a while I discovered that everyone that had an internal IDE would
boot a lot faster than my system did, and that bugged me.
During a period when I was exploring TOS, I discovered a way to cure this,
and wrote the first version of FastBoot 030, which was very crude, it only
worked on TOS 4.04 and had no error-checking what-so-ever.
That was version 0.1beta, now I'm up to version 0.4beta, and have included
support for TOS 4.01-4.02 and error-checking.

What it does:
   Basically, FastBoot bypasses memorytest and the internal IDE boot sequence.
Since TOS needs about 10 seconds to discover there is no IDE drive present,
you will boot a lot faster.
There is no way of keeping the memorytest and still bypass the IDE-boot
sequence.
