If you have a spare IDE HD, use UAE to make a bootable partition with everything you need. Your Amiga could be up and running by the end of the day.

@Miloo

You said that your HD died, from you're last post it appears you've replaced it and are trying to install OS3.9. Is that right? If that's the case, you don't need the 060/ppc libs or SCSI tools during installation. Use HDToolBox to partition, install 3.9, then get the missing bits later.

Without being able to inspect your rescue disk, I'd guess that it has something missing or has something specific to your 030 accelerator.

Trust me, the UAE method is much, much, much, much, much easier. I recently rebuilt my A4000/PPC this way. Use UAE to get a boot partition with CD-ROM drivers, then use that to install OS3.9.

HDToolBox is supplied with Workbench.
