If I've read right, he previously used Kick 2.x and now switched to Kick 3.1. Maybe the scsi.device has been changed and now his configuration doesn't work?
How about softkicking Kickstart 3.1 and using HDToolBox from OS 3.1 or softkicking Kickstart 2.0 and using HDToolBox from OS 2.0? I think you have some troubles because of mixing the Kickstart and Workbench versions. How about purchasing an Kickstart 3.1 ROM? This would also speed-up coldstart and reduce your problems.
Generally as already said: Remove all external drives, terminate the internal drive, add the termination resistors to the mobo or add an external (active) terminator and try to access your hd through HDtoolBox. I wouldn't partition the drive using OS 3.1 HDToolBox if I want to install OS 2.x, this might result in troubles with the version of the filesystem.
Check your cable! I've had mysterious fallouts of my drive because of an (invisible) defective cable.
