[HECnet] Auto-booting a MicroVAX 3400

[Dan B]

yes, I'm not sure on your model, but on the 3100 is one of the dip
switches (white switch on red,) look in the back of the box, there
should be also a reset button next to it, when set it will boot
automagically the default boot disk (you need to set from SRM)

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.

What I need to do to make it autoboot wasn't exactly clear :)

I'll take a look on Sunday when I have access to the machine itself.

I don't know, I kind of assumed you checked the manual... but the Yeti's might have eaten it ;)
