Make sure the SCSI id of the CD-Rom != the SCSI of the internal drive of the  
Cube.  Make sure the SCSI of the Rom drive is higher than the ID of the boot  
device as the NeXT will boot the device with the lowest first by default!  The  
internal drive is _usually_ set to an SCSI id of 1, but this is not always the  
case.  If you have two devices set to the same id, things generally won't work  
well...  Check those IDs!!!
