8.6.3 Boot VAX/DS from Tape Drive

Model 500 and 600 systems and single-processor systems do

not need this step; for these models, go to Section 8.8. The

VAX Diagnostic Supervisor (VAX/DS) allows you to run level

2, 2R, and 3 diagnostics. You can boot VAX/DS from tape

before loading and running the processor diagnostics.
