I had the same problem once. JTAC gave me the following:

>From shell, as root, check the boot devices

%sysctl -a | grep bootdevs
machdep.bootdevs: pcmcia-flash,compact-flash,lan
%

Add the disk back in (this is default order)
%sysctl -w machdep.bootdevs: pcmcia-flash,compact-flash,disk,lan

Repeat  'sysclt-a | grep bootdevs' to ensure that it was changed.

Reboot the system. You may also issue 'request system reboot media 
compact-flash' to tell Junos to use the Flash.

Check the hard drive, re-partition if necessary.

Hope that helps.
