Do you still have the default Toshiba CD-ROM in this machine? I have
noticed from time to time if you put CD drives in that weren't "DEC
approved" that I have ran into weird issues.

Also, it pretty much has to be a SCSI CD-ROM, at least that is what I
found with installing VMS... maybe True64 is the same way about loading
SCSI drivers instead of IDE.
