The Restart Parameter Block (RPB) is a structure set up by the console
before it passes control to whatever has booted.

So it's basically something that the console should have set up: it's
part of the standard way of booting any VAX.
I assume that the rtVAX 300 console would have set up the RPB and
supplied a pointer as part of the boot process.
