ISO 9660 standard version numbers.  Put in for VAX compatibility, 
like the part of the name after the . shouldn't be more than 3 
characters for MS-DOS compatibility.

Try load-base of 660000, 650000, or default, and/or real-base of 
e00000, or default ("set-default real-base").  If you have really 
done exactly what MW said to do in the installation instructions then 
we are kind of guessing.

Please report exactly what does and doesn't work (like you just did). 
It's good to track these things.

This is OF 2.4?

Good luck!  You're really close.  If it does boot then the rest of 
the install should be routine.

If the variations I listed don't do it then you are probably in some 
hardware driver area.  Do you have any extra hardware or disks that 
could be disconnected?  I seem to recall some notes on the model 
support page that might be relevant.
