I'm only aware of HP using 2k sectors for CD-RO.

I've never heard of 512 byte sectors in a CD Drive.
Is that a feature unique to CD-RW?

Even if that's true, the PARISC firmware expects (or will read) 2k blocks.
I suggest double checking that the CD is burned properly.

that's a good idea too. "lifimage" files are also available that one
can directly boot from. Follow the "Net Install ISO" link from the
www.parisc-linux.org website.
