Well, my resources concerning SYSBOOT limited to:
From memory:
[Ctrl/P] Switch to Processor Console Mode
H Halt a running system (Worse than crashing it)
I Initialize (Program counter??)
U Unjam (??)
B Boot (From curent parameters??)
From AA-LA00B-TE, Sys Mgr's Manual (for V5.2):
USE DEFAULT.PAR
"Emergency Startup After Modifying System Parameters"
SET/STARTUP Designate a Console Device
CONTINUE Return control to the Boot
The Sys Mgr's Manual then refers to:
"VAX Processor Installation and Operations Guide"
for detailed booting instructions.
That's all I have. Anybody else want to add anything?

Subject: Some More VAXish questions..
Well, thanks to all those who replied last time.
I think I may be getting somewhare with the vax.
cant get the tape drive or deqna cards working,
(their leds tell me something is wrong) but that is not what I am going
to be asking about.
When I try and boot the vax, I get
Loading system software,
2..1..0..
%SYSBOOT-E-Unable to locate file DUDRIVER.EXE
?06 HLT INST
PC = 0000692B
now I can get into the sysboot utility, have no idea what to do here.
Is there a way I can get around this missing file, is the some command
at the chevrons (>>>) or the sysboot>
that I can use to get round this?
Thanks
Benjamin
