I had similar problems and was about to give up on SS when I just happened
to try a prog from Aminet called MacMem. I placed it in my startup-sequence
just before Prepareemul and everything worked ok. I don't know if this is
any help.

Hello Dave,

My system is the A1200 w/Blizzard1260 16Mb fast ram, SS3.4 registerd,
MacOS 7.1, and 512k ROM.  I had encounterd same experience before. 
When I replaced the Mangoose 030 acceralator with the Blizzard1260,
the "Happy Mac" displayed and crashed.  I suspected the Mac side system
because the Mac was about to boot.  Perhaps some files for extension 
which read at the Mac start-up seem not to fit the 060 CPU.  So putting 
the 030 acceralator back in my A1200 and the Mac system booted, I removed 
files in the system extension folder as much as possible.  It came to 
run perfectly.

I hope this is some help for you.
