Slightly OT? - NeXTstation Question

[David M. Ensteness]

OK, I am not sure if this is considered on topic or not. But I need 
some help. I have a NeXTstation, its an '040 based system, has a 1.2GB 
SCSI drive [pulled from a 7100] and formatted as unallocated space. I 
have connected an external Apple 2x CD ROM drive to it and tried to 
boot from a NeXTSTEP 3.0 CD [this version is supported on this 
computer]. It is my understanding one boots from CD by holding down the 
ESC key. Doing this results in a "system check failed" message during 
boot up. If I do not attempt to boot from CD ROM I get the same result. 
If I remove the SCSI hard drive the NeXTstation attempts to search the 
network for an image to boot from.

Help?

David
