Oh, and one more thing that comes to mind...

Interacting with the console on old vaxen is pretty straightforward, but
interacting (ie. asking for character input) from a system like a
VAXstation/MicroVAX 2000 is a pain, since the console can be a terminal plugged
into a serial port on the 4 port dz-like chip or a keyboard on the 4 port dz-like
chip and output to a display screen.

As such, I think it would be a good idea to avoid console queries and just set
any boot options with flag bits in R5. (I think most vaxen accept a console
command >>>boot/XXX, where the hex value XXX is loaded into R5 for the boo
program.)

I think that's it for now, rick
