If it's anything like hp300, then dumping that LIF image to CD should 
"just work".  AFAICT, they didn't have any provisions for booting from 
CD-ROM in the BootROM, so they just treated CDs as any other SCSI HD.  
At least, that's what the HPUKES 9.10 CDs looked like to me.

Thanks for moving hp700 forward!
