9 is "Identifying console terminal". It's supposed to give up
after six seconds and skip to step 7. If it identifies ther terminal,
it will go to step 8 instead and query the language.

6 is the RAM test.

You said uVAX II but what cards are in there? If it finds
a video card I think the sequence might change a bit.

I *thought* it was the early BA23 power harness that
had the issue, not the BA123. A bit of googling through
newsgroups (comp.sys.dec or comp.os.vms) should nail
that down somewhat.
