Mystery solved, and thanks to everyone who helped.
I tried five CD writers, thinking this was the problem. But in all cases I
used ISO Recorder:

Iso Recorder created CDS that booted Linux fine, on PCS and even on an
Alpha-based Multia. They cannot however boot a VAX.
When I used my husband's copy of Nero, the CDS booted fine on several vaxes.
People might ask why I didn't record CDS on another Unix machine; that's
because one is temporarily down and the other was not available.
Now that NetBSD is installed on my play VAX I get to play with package
dependencies. Again, thanks to everyone.
