The ROMs you have are the early softkick or SuperKickstart ROMs, if you don't intend to install a CPU card (your ROMs require the 68030 to work) you can actually get a 3.1 Kickstart file to boot from.  The only pain about that is getting the hard drive partitions named and set up right for the SuperKickstart ROMs to be able to find your kickstart file.  It would be easier to just grab a set of 3.1 chips for a 3000 from eBay and stick them in your tower, I wouldn't worry about the odd pins stuck in the sockets on the board, as far as I've heard those two sockets aren't useful on that revision motherboard.
