I was testing the Ocean Vista 256 3.5 inch optical and learned the following:

1)   NS 3.0's BuildDisc Application doesn't seem to work; therefore
using the Optical as an external boot device won't work yet.

2)  There is a difference between device address and SCSI address.
I believe that the external peripheral should be SCSI #0 to become
the external boot device.  Also, in booting from the ROM monitor I believe
that one is addressing the device number which is different from the 
SCSI address.  I forget the exact designations but everything concerning
SCSI address and device numbers is explained in the upgrade documentation
provided with NS 3.0 CD.    

Hope this helps.  Good luck.
