Here's mine: (floppy s/startup-sequence)

mount dhb:
dhb:c/execute dhb:s/startup-sequence
dhb:c/endcli >nil:

    My floppy startup essentially consists of two lines.  The last
two are, obviously, run from my HD.  The HD startup sequence starts up
ConMan, opens a new CLI window with yet a third startup file, and then
ends... the floppy sequence closes down the original CLI window and 
exits while the HD continues with its boot sequence.

    The HD continues running startup-2 in the new CLI (ConMan'd) window
and does everything else, including re-assigning everything, mounting
the remaining HD partitions, starting up my shell, etc...  Since I have
removed all references to the floppy, including references to the original
startup sequence (because it ended), it disappears from the device list if
I eject it.

    (dhb:s/startup-sequence)  DHB: is a small 3MB partition on my HD.

dhb:c/newcli con:40/40/600/160/AmigaDOS FROM dhb:s/startup-2

    (dhb:s/startup-2) .. because the newcli command needs an execute script.
