Personal Workstation AU 433 won't boot shiney new DU4.0C CD

Hi,

we have a Personal Workstation AU 433 (with an EV56? in it), and I wanted to
blow away the FIS because none of it uses ADVFS. I want to use ADVFS for
everything (but might listen to advice on that).

When I said (after discovering that the IDE channels masquerade as SCSI
channels) 'boot dka0', the system thought about it for a while and came back
and said:

   block 0 on dka0.0.0.4.0 is not a valid boot block
   bootstrap failure

So, I took the CD our and looked at it, and it said Digital UNIX 4.0C
(incorporates Digital UNIX 4.0B)

So, what have I done wrong? How do I boot that CD or do I need to add a
normal SCSI CD to the machine before I can boot?

Regards
