Hi Jose,

No flags needed, but do specify the device.
E.g.:

>>> boot dqa0

if dqa0 is the name of your CD player.

The installation guide could be helpful:

If your system has particularly weird default
flags, you might specify "-flags 0,0", but the
CDs are arranged to tolerate many weird
default flag settings.
