You shouldn't need to type what you did. If you go to new command mode
(typing 'n' at the '>' prompt), type 'boot disk' at the 'ok' prompt and it
should boot off the disk assuming it's set to SCSI-ID 3 (needed for a
default boot disk).

The drive should be set to SCSI-ID 6 to work as a boot device. Depending on
the bootROM revision, you should be able to type 'boot cdrom' at the 'ok'
prompt.
