Does it have SCSI controller? If so, try pressing the S key at cold boot...

The S key disables the SCSI boot (ROM) option.

Does your Blizzard have a 68060 CPU?  If so did you install the 060 libs?

A common issue with Blizzards is corrupt flash, you might need to reflash it.

In the mean time you could try another PSU or another A1200 if you have them available.

It could also mean that your scsi controller has a problem... I remember when I had this issue.. turned out to be hairline crack (cold solder joint) in some of the NCR SCSI Chip pins... scsi fails to initilize preventing the board/machine to boot unless you disable it.

Hope that helps,

Press Esc in the boot, you will enter in the PPC config.
Disable all the scsi units in the software if you do not use them, may solve the problem.
Configure a bppc its a bit tricky. Ask if you have problems with Warpos, ppclibemu, bppcfix and such things.

If you have 3.1 Roms, and no hard drive connected to the A1200 internal IDE header, there may be a ~30 second delay prior to booting as the miggy waits for any IDE drives to respond.

Can't remember if the BPPC menu offers any way to disable the A1200 onboard IDE, it's been a while!

Congratulations on getting it working anyway. :-)
