A1200 weird booting issues.

[r6stu]

For some reason my A1200 wont boot the 1st time. The HDD lights flash like the unit is loading but then just stops.

When I reboot the A1200 it boots fine. its just the 1st boot normally.

Im running OS3.5. I dont get the kickstart prompt. it starts to boot from the HDD   and dose so for the first 5 seconds, then stops on a black screen!  :-?

Upon rebooting its fine.

I have std 2.5" IDE, HDD Blizzard 1220/4 RAM expansion, and Archos CDrom drive, with their cd drivers installed. and a network card sometimes.

I also notice that when the cd rom drive is connected it pauses, and reads the cd. I assume thats trying to boot from cd. Ill post a video up later.

Ill do the vid later, yea KS31 roms, ill try the setpatch thing as well.

I should have my appollo 1230/50 soon as the strike is off, so will be sticking my os39 cd in to load that fresh!

Will update.

Cheers

Not sure what the text is. I thinks its somthing to do with an assign for a program ive moved/deleted, or for the AmiTCP bootup.

Im using an aftermarket Technoplus PSU to power it! I did have the golitath but the -5v went and the power light would just flash and screen go black.
