[HECnet] How to turn off SYSBOOT> prompt on rx2600

[Joe Ferraro]

Steve,

I would agree - I don't think I was successful in simply setting EFI to 'vms_flags 0,0'. I think I was required to null STARTUP_P1 (as shown in my earlier "script" that was negated within this thread). 

Take care,
Joe

It is a property of the hardware bootstrap.
  
BTW - for the "default" boot within VMS,   STARTUP_P1 should be set to the NULL string.

Is there any way to do this from VMS?

Sampsa,

I believe you can 

SYSBOOT> SET STARTUP_P1 ""   
SYSBOOT> CONTINUE

to clear the flags...
