[HECnet] Noob question here: boot flags and such

I've set my boot_flags to 0,0 in SRM, but it boots to a minimal DCL shell
where I have to type @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP to get the ball rolling


How do   I stop this?


At some point in the past, you probably did a SET /STARTUP OPA0: in a
conversational boot and omitted to do a SET WRITESYSPARAMS 0 afterwards.

To put things back the way they were, do another conversational boot

ie BOOT -fl 0,1

At the SYSBOOT> prompt, issue the commands:

SET /STARTUP SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM
CONTINUE

Next time you boot, you should get the full startup automatically.
