Well, since it the default boot is set to ESA0 it was most likely set up
for a network boot off of a cluster disk. That means you've most likely
got a RZ23 for the Hard Disk, which was used for the pagefile and swapfile.
While it's possible to fit OpenVMS on a 100Mb drive, you'll probably want
to find a larger drive. I've found a RZ25 is comfortable on a 3100 for a
little light compiling.
