Is it possible that the error is because of the monitor not seeing the QD32?
At least if I netboot NetBSD it doesn't see the QD32 either, only the RQDX3.

Playing a bit with the QD32 I've found out that it has the "big" EPROM,
i.e. the 27256 32kB ROM, and this one *includes* the diagnostic routines.
So there are the instructions how to enter the built-in routines:
U
I
D/P/W 20001F40 20
D/P/L 20088000 80000000
D/P/L 20088004 80000001
D/P/W 200000EC 1
D/P/W 200000EE 3003
D * 4401
S 80
