Quite an impressive Amiga setup you've got there:

-=Amiga Technologies - A4000T=-
* Cyberstorm 060@60MHz. / PPC604e@233Mhz - 98 Megs.
* External SCSI-III RAID Tower (37 Gigs. so far)
* Mediator PCI - D Link 530TX+ 10/100 / Voodoo 5500 / SB Digital 4.1
* eFlash 4000 (2 meg version)

I see eFlash 4000 in your configuration. I've not read into that piece of hardware too deep yet but IIRC it's a 'ROM' enabling you to store all of the OS3.9 patches such that no multi-softboots are needed before the system to be ready for use. Now could it be that this piece of hardware is responsible for all the inconsistency you encounter at the moment? I can imagine something has gone wrong while changing the content of the FlashROM.
My guess would be trying to clean the content of that FlashROM and see if that helps. Chances are that the OS3.9 CD has been compiled way before the eFlash was created. Is there a way to simply de-activate it?
If that fails you could go back to the bare-bones, just installing the hardware needed for a basic OS3.9 installation (and don't forget to create a rescue floppy ;-)). If that installation has been carried out to satisfaction plug the other hardware back in, one at a time, and keep checking the system.
