Oops, sorry - from the train of messages, I thought that was impled...
I used it w/both CDROM and HDD - and it booted VMS from the CDROM. I've also
successfully used an Emulex UC07 booting VMS from CDROM - and using it for
CDROM and HDD.
As I recollect, I had trouble booting/installing BSD using either KZQSA or
UC07 - but I didn't really follow up on it as I was most interested in native
VMS.
