For compatability with Digital Unix, you have to specify the `a'
option when you boot, otherwise it boots single-user. At the console
prompt, type `set boot_osflags a'.
This is for compatability with Digital Unix (or whatever Digital/Compaq
is calling it today). Why we want to be compatable in this way I'm
not sure, though....
