It's in SYS$MANAGER. At 25000 blocks (roughly) it is larger than I would 
expect, but it's not enourmous.

No DECservers are booting from VMS here. RSX responds before VMS blinks.
But SYS$SYSTEM:SYSDUMP.DMP was impressively large... I wonder if I can 
remove that.

$ dir sys$system:*.dmp/siz

Directory SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]

ERRORLOG.DMP;1          2049
SYSDUMP.DMP;1        2621449

Total of 2 files, 2623498 blocks.
