[HECnet] OpenVMS 6.1 Cluster - Alpha not booting to form cluster

Just wondered if anyone would know why my Alpha when booting hangs at 
the point where it attempting to determine whether to join or form a VMS 
cluster? It is clustered with a VAX - if I boot the VAX first the VAX 
creates a cluster which the Alpha will then happily join when turned on, 
but if I power the Alpha without the VAX it just hangs.

Both are running an install straight from an original VMS 6.1 
installation disk.

Just 2 nodes?

What's your quorum configuration?

$ MCR SYSGEN SHOW VOTES
$ MCR SYSGEN SHOW EXPECTED_VOTES

..from each node.
