You need to boot from slice f like a regular CD

e.g. boot /virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/disk at 0:f

Try this instead.
ldm set-variable boot-device="cdrom:f" ldg1

Also, I'd suggest adding vdisk1 before the ISO image so that
the root disk is disk at 0 and the ISO is disk at 1 (then if you later
remove the ISO image it's disk at 1 which disappears).
