Because the memory as shown is in 16 bit samples not bytes.

It absolutely can boot directly from the hard drive, as long as you have a hard drive that 
powers up fast enough for it to be ready when the Emax asks for the OS (older Maxtor 
drives tend to not be ready). If it isn't fast enough try setting the Emax to boot from an 
unused SCSI #, when that number fails the Emax will begin searching the other SCSI 
IDs until it finds one to boot from, by this time the drive should be ready.

I know nothing about any CD-Roms for the Emax sorry ... Rob can probably help you 
with this one.
