I guess a section on booting, console commands and gotchas would be handy,
particularly with more and more people getting their paws on VAXen for the
first time either at all or in many years. I'd forgotten for example that
early MicroVAX consoles didn't include things like a useful SHOW command.
With the MV I you don't even have the good ol' TEST 50 (or was it 75?) to
show the config.

cheers
