Just to be sure, since it isn't clear...you wait for the machine to boot,
then you hit Stop-A to get to the ok> prompt, and at the prompt you type
"boot cdrom", right?  It won't automatically boot from floppy or cd like
a PC does.

If you do a probe-scsi (I think thats the command, its been a long time),
do you see the CD-ROM drive listed?
