Yes, I got several reports that the Apple supplied CD-ROM seems to

from any SCSI device if the Apple supplied CD-ROM was hooked up to the 
SCSI bus.

Floppy, ethernet, SCSI Zip drive (or other HD), or a non-Apple CD-ROM.

Your system has Open Firmware 1.0.5 -- this syntax doesn't work.  
Please read the INSTALL notes.  If they're not clear, let me know which 
parts and I'll try to make the wording better.
