Uhm...I tried the same trick for IA64 Debian ISO and it didn't work either.
I should have looked in the parisc-linux mail archives before
since folks have described how to do it right. Anyway, I found a CD-writer
on a linux box and ended up using cdrecord.

"Sea" should see the CD-ROM. Very likely it's not properly
connected or has the option jumpers set wrong for PDC.

When it's working right, "sea" should tell you regardless of
whether it has a CD installed or not (I think).
