Well, putting the diskimage 'cdhdtape' on CD as a normal file
is enough for booting.
booting from SRM console works then as:
show config <- to identify your CD-ROM (if SCSI : dka{1,2,3,4,5,6})
boot -fi /path/to/the/file/on/cd/cdhdtape dkaX
putting the tar-file sets on the same CD is a good idea imho ...
