Well, its been some time since Ive posted dumb questions to this newsgroup, so here I go again!:-) How does one go about doing the standalone boot in the VAX 730? Ive already done SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT.COM (or whatever) to build the kit on the RL02, and now I want to boot it. Ive looked at the stuff on the console tape (at the >>> typed DIR) and didnt see anything really obvious (to me). Someone once told me that it was B STA, but there is no STABOO.CMD on the tape... or perhaps my console tape is incomplete? On a lighter side of things, a while back, someone once mentioned a PDP-8 mailing list, but of course, I dont have the address. It was something like pdp8-lovers@... Thanx:-) Billy D'Augustine

Your console media has to have DQxBOO.CMD, of course. You can copy DQxBOO.CMD to STABOO.CMD if you really want to do B STA. -- =============================================================================== Roger Ivie 35 S 300 W Logan, Ut. 84321 (801) 752-8633 ===============================================================================
