Poweredge 4400 - Unable CD Boot for Windows 2000 Adv Serv

I have a PE4400 that I just recently acquired.  I have updated the BIOS, ESM, SCSI, PERC to current Dell downloads. 

During the boot process the machine recognizes the SCSI CD Drive with the assigned ID 0 and by name NEC CD ROM on AIC 7880 SCSI Bus.

I have not installed any hard disks on the system yet, as I am stepping up throught the build process.

I can boot the system with a MSDOS 6.0 boot disk and the SCSI CD works fine.  It establishes itself as the C: drive and I can read and open in DOS edit any *.txt file and do all the normal DOS functions.

I cannot get the CD to boot as a boot device for a Windows 2000 Advanced Server load.  It does not "see" the CD ROM as a boot device even though in the BIOS it is listed in the boot sequence.

I used the 4 2000 Server Set Up disks and I get all the way to the end and again it does not "see" the CD ROM.

Perplexed because under normal DOS 6.0 it is loaded fine and works fine.  But I can't get the CD to act as a boot device or be seen after the 4 disk set up.

Suggestions?
