I made a boot disk, and the first line in CONFIG.SYS is
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF /Q
(HIMEM.SYS is placed in the DOS folder)
But it is very slow when loading. After the startup is completed, a file is generated in the root directory, and the file name is BOOTLOG.TXT. The content inside is as follows:
[0009A4D3] Loading Device = C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
(Logo disabled)
[0009A4E6] LoadSuccess = C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
[0009A4E7] Loading Device = RAMDRIVE.SYS
[0009A4F8] LoadSuccess = RAMDRIVE.SYS

Asking all the experts, what is this about? Why is it slow? Why is "Logo disabled"?

Waiting urgently, thank you!

No one knows? Experts, can you answer? Note that "slow" means that loading HIMEM.SYS takes more than 30 seconds, even up to 1 minute

Try DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF

The /TESTMEM:OFF has been added, so it should not be the reason for the memory test. What is the /Q parameter?

Is himem.sys copied? If so, will it be incompatible with the DOS system? I seem to remember that I made the same mistake before.

Your question is not related to "Logo disabled". Now, most of the himem.sys downloaded from the Internet basically write log files, and the log files basically all have "Logo disabled". For example, the himem.sys I am using now is like this, but it loads normally and is very fast. You can consider changing the himem.sys file or use your boot disk to try on other machines. In addition, I have never used the /Q parameter, you can consider temporarily removing it for testing.

Edit the msdos.sys to see which parameters are problematic. Simply put, replace the msdos.sys. Currently, the msdos.sys of many boot disks is messed up.
