Are you sure that the CDROM is bootable? What type of CDROM drive are you 
using? I'm not positive that just any drive will work. Can you see the cdrom 
when you do a "sea scsi"? If not then either the CDROM isn't bootable or the 
drive isn't working.

Why don't you try to use the uxbootlf that I posted? I know you're having 
problems with bootp/tftp but you'll need to get them working if you want to 
use newer kernels.

In my experience bootp/tftp are a pain for everyone and just require 
persistance to get working. Send me errors if you can't get it working.
