I just picked up a 43p-150 to complement my pseries 630. I have AIX 5.3 installed and it's working pretty well. My only issue is the time it takes from me turning the machine on to actually seeing the IBM logo screen(this is even before AIX starts to boot). Is this normal? I didn't time it, but I am guessing it is about 4minutes from the moment I press the power button to actually seeing the IBM logo(and the hit "2" to use this console). After that, AIX boots up fairly quickly. If this is normal, is there any way to speed things up?
