I have my VAXstation 4000 VLC running to the ">>>" prompt and would
like to boot the hobbyist CD-ROM to install VMS on the hard drive but
I'm having trouble getting the CD-ROM to boot. If I type 'boot dka400'
at the prompt, the CD-ROM spins up and I get the text "-DKA400"
displayed on the console but then I get the ">>>" prompt again. Can
anyone tell me why that would happen? I'm using a NEC CDR-1910A SCSI
CD-ROM drive set to SCSI ID 4.
