I did this also. It is explained clearly in the 3.0 Release Notes booklet  
pgs 11-14 that comes with the cd-rom release.

For example I:

1. Powered down.

2. Powered up. Typed "command ~" after the "Testing System" message.

3. Inserted the floppy disk named "CD-ROM TOOLS" in the floppy drive.

4. Inserted the cd-rom in the cd-rom drive.

5. typed "bfd" at the Next> prompt in the ROM Monitor window. (the floppy  
tools find the cd-rom drive)

6. Answered prompts:
"..this is complete install... you want?"     'y'
"...install on which disk...?"                'sd0a'
"...erase disk...?                            'y'
"...proceed...?                               'y'
