Curious what I might be doing wrong. Is this a jumper setting? Thanks for any help.

if it's getting that far then I'd guess it's more of a software configuration issue - try booting with extensions off, different system folder, version, reformat, etc.

Which System version are you using? And have you been able to boot from this System Folder previously (Specifically on this SE/30 with the Rominator)?

The Rominator requires that you adjust the System File with Resedit for some System versions.

I erased it and put 6.0.8 on it and it booted fine. Must've been the particular System Folder. Will try other system folders tonight.

While i realize that i'm now necro-posting on an old thread, i had the same issue and also found the solution to it (for any future readers benefit).
You have to alter the "Gestald ID" (https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-se30-with-upgraded-rom/) using a resource editor most likely.
I had to do it 15+ years ago when i swapped the scsi hdd out for an ide one (using a scsi/ide bridge) and 6+ years ago when i went scsi/cf and just recently once again when going BlueScsi/SD on the SE/30.

Just follow the instructions in the linked page and it will work out just fine 🙂
