I believe there's a booting howto on the web site.

The short answer is to interrupt the boot firmware by pressing
any key in 10 seconds like it says.  Then with the CD in place,
type 'search' and wait.  It should report at least two bootable
devices similar to this:

    temporary
    nickname	bootable-device

	P0	scsi.6.0
	P1	ide

Then you type 'boot p1' or 'boot ide' (or maybe it's ide.0 I forget).

The firmware has a reasonable set of on-line help built in -- that's
how I learned how to use it.
