There is no "cd0", but there is a "cd" (as you surmise).

Nope.  That doesn't appear to get as far.  With "cd0:...", I
get "Loading XCOFF" and a few other lines I can't see--I think
it's just the section information--before the grey screen with
circle/slash.  With "cd:..." I get the usual "Unrecognized client
program..."

I found an OS X disk, and I'll try partitioning, etc.
