The FIND command syntax is:
F[IND] [/qualifier]
where /qualifier is either /MEMORY or /RPB. The FIND command searches
main memory to find a page-aligned 256-Kbyte block of good memory or a
restart parameter block. If you do not use a qualifier, the FIND command
searches for a restart parameter block, as if you used a /RPB qualifier.
There is a wait, while the system searches all memory. This may take up
to 2 minutes for each 32 Mbytes of memory.
On some VAX systems, theFIND command is a necessary step in the system
boot procedure. However, on a VAX 6000 series system, the boot program
includes the process of finding the appropriate memory block to boot. You
do not use this command during normal boot procedures.
When the memory block is found, its address plus 512 is left in the stack
pointer (SP). This convention is established because you load the virtual
memory block (VMB) program into the memory block you just found. VMB
uses the first page of memory to build the restart parameter block (RPB).
