To clarify, CD0 shows in the "Control Active Devices" section but not in the "Select Boot Device" section. It shows up as follows:

"Enabled - CD0     not bootable  CDFS  cybppc-4"

The settings in the firmware are as follows:

8 Luns
15 Transfer Offset
20 MHz Sync Period
Async/Synchron
Auto Buswidth
Auto Reselection
Auto Mount
Auto Removable
CDRom Boot
CD Boot Priority 0
CD Device Name CD0

I don't know why the boot priority would make a difference if it isn't even reported as bootable :-?

I used version 44.71 of the firmware.

Just set the LUNs setting to 1 and also set the boot priority to 1. The drive still shows up as an active device, but is not bootable. Is anyone else using the same firmware version who can confirm that CD Booting definitely works? Or could it be my drive?

Does anyone know which type of CD it should boot? CD32 games (whether or not they work)? ISO9660 with s/startup-sequence? Or some other format?

@LawlessPPC
What version of the firmware did you use before, when it did work? And what format of CD did you boot from?
