Yes, and definitely check the md5sum if you can.

Nope, it should not matter... PROM (by default) expects the CD drive to
be ID 6, which it seems you have set. That, and the CD drive _must_ be
set to use 512 byte blocks (and not 2k blocks like normally found).
I have an SS20 here that I use a lot... everything works great on it.
