MicroVAX 3100 booting question...

Ok...

Reassured that I wouldn't trash a filesystem accidently, I rebooted it.
And I took better notes this time. :-)

I was indeed in Stand-alone backup:

41-D V1.0

F_..E...D...C...B...A...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2_..1?..


 ? C 0080 0000.4001
?? 1 00C0 0011.700E




>>> BOOT DKA300


-DKA300
   OpenVMS VAX Version V6.1 Major version id = 1 Minor version id = 0

After digesting the above output, I tried booting to DKB200. That caused
another disk inside to spin up (definitely louder than the first, but not
necesarily to the point of screaming "I'm dead!"), but there's obviously
a problem:

>>> BOOT DKB200


?42 NOSUCHFILE
?06 HLT INST
    PC = 00000C66


Well...time to research Stand-alone BACKUP, and maybe consider getting a
new disk and some tapes?

I'm booting off of the hard drives. There's a tape drive in the box, but
I don't have any tapes for it. There's no CD drive...
