As you suspect, something unusual is going on -- this is not the normal 
startup time.

Normal TStik/TINI power on slush startup, with autorun of Tynamo web server 
doesn't take anywhere near this long, and it has to set up http, ftp and 
telnet servers.

As another example, in production of TStik we use NetBoot to load the 
TINIOS and our mfg test code, then run it and test the TStik itself. This 
entire process, including transferring the TINIOS and then starting and 
running the code takes less than 90 seconds (I forget the exact time, it's 
about a minute, maybe a tad more).

Do you emit messages to serial0 on startup? If you have Javakit connected 
to serial0 do you see any unusual pauses or messages such as when memory 
gets tested, etc?
