On the Amiga 3000 it is very rare to have a crash that removes the kickstart
from memory. The kickstart loaded in ram is protected with the MMU. You
can not simply write there. To overwrite this memory you will have to trash
the mmu tables and these are not so big. Also the loading of the kickstart
on a 3000 takes only about 2 seconds. Hardly noticable in my opinion.
