Did you set for install
root = "xbd1d"

so it boots off of the cd?

Also I'm not sure if you want /dev/cd0a or /dev/cd0d in the diskline
if you have /dev/cd0a you may want to use root as:
root = "xbd1a"

In my distant memory I think I had trouble with the a partition not being
the full contents of the CD so you might try working with the d partition.
