Hi!

I'm trying to boot my VAXstation from CD-ROM since I don't have a tape
drive. It has an Emulex UC08 controller. The internal hd and an internal
MO drive are connected to the first port, to the second port I attached
an external Plextor UltraPlex 32.

I updated the UC08 to rom revision G143R, just to be sure and configured
a cd-rom drive on the second port, scsi id 1.

When I try to boot from the CD, it is ejected after a few seconds and
nothing more happens. Every time i put the cd back in it is ejected again.

The same happend when I tried a old SUN caddy CD drive (Sony OEM).

Any hints?

Regards,
   Sebastian

Here it ejects the cd and hangs forever.
