I was able to successfully boot a pre-turbo nextstation mono from a DEC
RRD42 cdrom drive, rev 4.5d. This particular drive looks *very* much
like NeXT's drive (footprint, controls, etc.). I suspect it of being a
Sony CDU541 underneath its DEC label.

I was then able to do the "virgin" builddisk install without problems.

I also got the "REJECT" messages with the DEC drive, but it did not keep
it from booting. The "waiting" message is "normal;" at least, it happens
with my NeXT label drive at home.
