Did the command. Here it is with the OF return.

0> boot cd:,\BOOT\LOADER.;1 cd:0 load-size=1000 adler32=99c5affa
unrecognized Client Program format

I'm going to take a chance and see if the firmware was upgraded to the
option screen.

Nevermind, that idea didn't work.

Seems that the OF version is looking for an HFS boot sector on the CD.
