[HECnet] Auto-booting a MicroVAX 3400

[Jordi Guillaumes i Pons]

If it is like a 3300 (and I think it is) there are TWO switches to set up properly to get an autoboot. I'll check my 3300's when I get home this evening and I'll post the positions I have got.

Also, take into consideration the uVAX won't boot if the NVRAM battery is dead... (It will try to netboot IIRC).

Oh, one last thing, you should set the default boot device:

SET BOOT Dxxx

And if it is clustered:

SET BFLAG x0000000 (being "x" the root suffix)

I did read the manual actually - but it talks about some physical switch to put it in "normal" console mode - I think that's   what it's in right now.
