AFAIK, you are out of luck. DECstation's no matter of their type won't
boot off a CD-ROM with a CDFS (iso whatever) on it. The problem lies in
the bootprom, which assumes, that the blocksize of the cdrom is 512
bytes (which isn't true for CD-ROMs using CDFS). If anybody knows, how
to get around this problem, let me know ...
