Quake II - Mission 7: Nothing to shoot?

Ok, I know it's years old, but I just started playing Quake II. I've
gotten to level 7 (Big Gun) and once you enter the first "arena",
where the laser is, the floating boss doesn't show up. How do you
trigger his appearance? The explosions went off, but there is a trap
door over where he's supposed to come from.

Any help appreciated.

If the boss doesn't appear after you go all the way in that room then
there is a glitch in the game and you'll have to go back to an earlier
save point and re-enter that level. The explosions show that the boss
is supposed to be triggered.
