Happens, doesn't mean you can't boot.

This is extremely unlikely, even though you didn't give any useful  
detail.
Your command looks like OF2 or 3, since you can boot from CD it's  
likely OF3. I've seen many versions of OF that wouldn't list a non- 
iso9660 directory yet happily boot from it.

Not recommended at all unless you have an identical machine to dump  
the ROM from.

So, what exactly are you trying to do? All Apple OF versions have  
their own weirdnesses and more than likely you just didn't find the  
right voodoo to make it boot.
So what did you do and what kind of errors do you get?

have fun
