After modifying the shell script to include the line you posted, my unit now takes about 20-25 seconds to boot. It sits there building the database... When it's done, empwake is not in the Hijack menu.

WTF??? No I have two drives but I don't have any problem with the 2nd drive mounting when I put that line in my shell script. I guess it's because my "init" calls a "userinit" shell script which takes care of mounting my drives before the player starts.

Mount both /drive0 and /drive1 and see if that helps. I never had any database rebuilding problems.

Even with that in mind, EmpWake should have bound to your Hijack menu. If it hasn't then something is really screwed up.
