[comp.sys.amiga] How I survived last night

Yesterday, no, tonight I had a crash while dnews was looking for news.
After that, the system (A3000) didn't boot anymore from my harddisk.  Even
after switching the power off and on again, it didn't work.  Kickstart was
loaded from the harddisk (strange, isn't it?) but then either nothing at
all happened or the system asked for a boot disk.  When I used a boot disk
and opened HDToolbox it said "no drives connected to system".  Arrrrgh!

However, the gods had mercy on me and after loading kickstart from disk and
booting with the Workbench, the harddisk validated (what it didn't do
before) and was there again.

Can anybody explain why kickstart could be loaded, but otherwise the drive
wasn't recognized by the system?
