I have such a setup--well, I have a Q80S here.  Diskspeed is right up there.
Craig, what version of RDBPrep do you have?  Updates are available from
Microbotics.

Your RDB looks  a bit strange.  In particular, MaxTransfer on my HardFrame/
Quantum combo is 130560.  You *should* be able  to change that safely
without reformatting, but back up anyway.

>(BTW, I use addbuffers dh0: 30 in my startup).

30 buffers isn't much for such a large drive.  I use 1000.

Nor  do I.

Yes.   The highest RDBPrep will let you set the HF bootpri to is 4, and
floppies come in at 5.  My son boots Faery Tale Adventure from floppy
all the time :-).
