Well, you should end up with a prompt that looks like this.

>>>

To find out what the devices are, type "sho dev" at the prompt.
After initializing and resetting the devices, you'r VAX should display a
list of the devices. In my VAX i have three disks called DKA0, DKA200 and
DKA500. These are my 500Mb disk, my CD-ROM and my 1Gb disk.
It also shows the network devices available, in my case the Lance Ethernet
controller ESA0.
To boot from a specific device just type b <device>, like "b DKA500" or to
boot from the net "b ESA0" You can also send bootflags when booting.=20
"b/1 ESA0" tells the bootloader to stop and wait for you to give it the
name of the kernel or program to load. You can also type "b/100 ESA0".
Then the bootprom even asks what bootprogram you want to use.

Hope this info helps. You can also type help at the bootprompt.

cheers,
