Bear in mind, it does not have to be called CD0 or anthing like. It would, as Mozzerfan said, be useful to list all files in the devs:dosdrivers directory.

You could also have a look in your startup-sequence and user-startup files. There could be a "MOUNT randomlocation/randomfilename" command in there.
Also, the mountfile could be in the wbstartup drawer, with the file associated with "mount" in the icon prefs.

Also, when you do find the file (and it is there somewhere!), change the device name in both the text of hte file itself, and in the tooltypes. I'm sure one is dominant over the other, but buggered if I can remember which.

Emergency_CD sounds like a good bet :-P

Use a text editor to open it.
Change the line:
Device = scsi.device
to
Device = warpdrive.device (or whatever the warp engine scsi device is called)

EDIT - also, make sure you check the tooltypes, as mentioned previously.

Reboot.

PS - Just noticed this info on Amiga.resource.cx:

# Fast SCSI 2 controller  NCR 53C710 @ 40 MHz
...
# autoboot ROM (warpdrive.device) - can be disabled by a jumper
# incompatible with the A3000's motherboard SCSI controller - replacing the A3000's SCSI chip to rev. 08 solves the problem


Which A3000 scsi chip do you have? iirc the A3K comes with rev04 as default...
Also, best to check that the autoboot rom disable jumper is not set, otherwise you will probably need to put warpdrive.device into devs: for this device to function.
