Thanks for the advice, Wilm. 

Both of those changed the output message, so instead of displaying the 
VMS banner, I got:
  [same sysboot messages as last time, about the paging file, then]
  %SYSBOOT-E-Unable to locate file PDDRIVER.EXE
    83 BOOT SYS

The uVax then tried to boot from the network, until I told it not to.

Seems to me the CDR is not being read properly?
