  I finally burned my 2.1 vaxcd.iso image to a CDROM, and dug out a
VS4000/90 and a CDROM drive.  It boots just fine, so the ISO image appears
to be OK.

  You appear to have an RRD43, which should work just fine on the VAX.

  I do have one question?  Are you burning to a CD-R, or a CD-RW?  I've
found that I have not had any luck using a CD-RW with the older DEC CDROM
drives.  Other than that, I can't think of what else might cause your
problem.
