What OS you are booting has absolutely no effect on what the ROM
monitor supports for the first boot stage.  So are you claiming
that an SS2 ROM monitor will boot from CD-ROMs with 2048Kb sectors;
or that if you boot the first stage from floppy or some other medium
that you can finish the boot from a 2048Kb-only CD-ROM?
