latest firmware for 712 is 2.3. Try to get the PA-RISC FAQ from www.parisc-linux.org. > external CD-ROM running old version of NeXT Step.

No error messages nothing. hmm...either the CDs weren't burned correctly or the firmware is having problems with the CD-Drive. The IODC (part of firmware) SCSI support is fairly primitive. If you can boot NeXT step or HPUX CD-ROM from the CD-drive we could rule out firmware issues. grant
