	All you have done so far is load
	a piece of code that knows how to
	use LAD to mount an Infoserver
	disk. That disk is supposed to
	contain (for example) an
	OpenVMS installation set of 
	savesets. Then you restore the
	.B saveset and proceed with your
	installation as normal.

	Alternatively, you could have a
	*recent* OpenVMS install CD in
	there and boot off root [SYS1] (IIRC)
	and have OpenVMS running (in a somewhat
	limited fashion ...) off a CD.

	If you really want to boot full OpenVMS
	from the net, you need to be in a
	cluster.
