But there's no magic "set EFI boot flags" to this command from VMS?

Sampsa,
I'm not sitting in front of a machine, but I think you may set boot options from:
SYS$UPDATE:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM
Forgive me if this is incorrect... I think you may set flags there as well... but its been a while...

Sampsa,
I believe you can

to clear the flags...
