Booting and Installing an Operating System 6-23
Example 6–6 shows a boot from a local disk. The example is abbreviated. For
complete instructions on booting OpenVMS, see the OpenVMS installation
document.
1. Power up the system. The system stops at the SRM console prompt,
P00>>>.
2. Set boot environment variables, if desired. See Section 6.2.
3. Install the boot medium. For a network boot, see Section 6.2.4.
4. Enter the show device command to determine the unit number of the
drive for your device.
5. Enter the boot command and command-line parameters (if you have not set
the associated environment variables.). In Example 6–6, the boot
command with the -flags option
causes the system to boot from
[SYS0.EXE] on device DKA0.
