- boot dqb0 -fl "" -fi ""
- boot dqb0 -fl "" -fi "bsd"
- boot dqb0 -fl "" -fi obsd
- boot dqb0 -fl "" -fi kernel
- boot dqb0 -fl "" -fi netbsd

- none work.

If the CD was properly burned (and is really a CD), then "boot
dqb0" should  work just fine.

what messages are you getting when you try any of the above
combinations?
