Thanks to all who responded. Apparently I was doing nothing wrong when I
tried
b sd(0,30,1)
on our old 4/430 box, which was the obvious (and documented) command. Most
of you suggested this. Others suggested the commands which work on desktop
systems: b sd(0,6,2) or boot cdrom. Special thanks to Torsten Metzner,
who also sent me an extensive description of the SCSI subsystem (including
how to get to the numbers above).
Nevertheless, I still wasn't able to boot from the CD-ROM drive. I'm
assuming that I'm facing some obscure hardware failure, as some suggested,
or maybe both bootable CD's I tried are damaged. Anyhow, it's time to
throw the old box away and start saving on my electricity bill.
