The field upgrade from MINC-11 to MINC-23 was basically just swapping the
CPU card. Sounds like somebody (not DEC failed circus?) did this and
didn't change the nameplate.

That doesn't sound like a DEC bootstrap message. Are you sure it's coming
from the MINC and not from whatever you're using as a terminal?
