I don't think you should do something to the CyberStorm board, because the computer boots in the first place. There is no need to load ROM to fastmem if you have Kickstart3.1 chips in the machine.

Have you tried resetting the computer after it resets the first time? Try to hold down both mousebuttons to enter the early boot menu and boot without startup-sequence and try to run the startup-sequence from there, maybe it will tell you something. Have you installed the libs needed by the CyberStorm board?

-EDIT-

Denmark rocks! :-)

Hmm,

have you just recently installed the CyberStorm CPU card? Maybe it's a matter of jumper settings (INT OR EXT).

What if you on power up boot from the emergency disk, is it still the same? Black screen and nothing else?

I remember my OS3.9 install going into a reboot loop after installation of BB2, but after disabling scsi.device update it booted right into Workbench.

It sounds very odd that there is no problems with OS3.1 but when you install OS3.9 it won't run; SetPatch shouldn't be able to lock the computer up as it does at your place. Try to edit your startup-sequence and go to the SetPatch line to somethign like this

SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES QUIET

If it helps there is clearly a problem with one of the modules in the ROM update. It's a long shot but worth a try.
