I've been having issues with my SE/30 SCSI for awhile now. I've replaced F3 as that was bad and it didn't help the SCSI situation. I then replaced the SCSI chip with a modern Zilog one and made some progress. it would finally see SCSI devices, but would never boot to them. It would either hang on welcome to Macintosh, get a system bomb, or it says this disk was created with Minimal software and will not work on this Macintosh. Also I can't seem to get any floppy disks to boot from this as well as it just ejects them with the floppy X out on the screen. Im not sure what other areas to check on my board for bad traces etc. Any help appreciated.
SE/30 SCSI Issues

Have you gotten it to boot on anything? If there are issues with both SCSI and floppy, it may be something else.
On my SE sometimes it takes a few tries to read a floppy to boot from it.
Have you tried both external and internal SCSI?
Has the board been recapped?

I haven’t been able to boot from anything in awhile. I haven’t tried external scsi or floppy yet. I’ve recapped it already
I'd try external SCSI next, like a blueSCSI etc that's known to be good. Hopefully that would narrow things down a bit for you.
An alternate thing to try would be getting a Rominator and verifying that you can boot from the ROM's image.
