Insert a workbench disk.  When you select 68030 or 68000 hold the two mouse buttons for early startup screen.  Then select DF0: to boot of floppy.  if it works then all is great, and my suspicion is that it will, so you only need to PREP the hard disk using 2091 boot disk.  Any boot problems may be related to old roms, incompatible with kickrom 3.1 or even the 2.04.  (the roms on 68030 card i've seen are version 4, 6 and 7).  It seems you have rom 6.1 on your 2091 board - really old.

That is why I suggested buying latest ROMs from us for cbm68030 (board is fine since you get the boot screen selection for 68000 or 68030.) and for 2091 board.  Rom 6.1/6.6 is too old anyways.  Rom 7.0 for 2091 fixes:
The version 7 ROM fixes the following bugs in the 6.6 ROM
- >1GB HD support
- DMA reselection bug fixed
- disconnect/reconnect performance improved a lot
- Sync messages are handled
- Error handling improved
- Sync problems with Seagate/Syquest fixed
- Removable media recognition fixed
- Slow boot jumper now does a 15 second wait plus 300ms scan

@VingtTrois

I have roms 7.0 on both the Commodore 68030 accelerator and 2091.  I get the selection screen for 68030/68000, there's a jumper for that J304.  You can disable that or enable it.  With the latest ROMs (maybe even the old ones) there is not need to soft reboot (A+A+ctrl).  Also latest roms let you configure hard disk > 1gb.
