Owner`s manual

The SET BOOT command syntax is:
SE[T] B[OOT] <nickname> [<boot-parameters>]
where <nickname> is a 1- to 4-character name for the boot specification you
are saving.
The string <boot-parameters> is any legal set of BOOT command
parameters and qualifiers that do not reference another saved boot
specification. If you omit <boot-parameters>, you delete the saved boot
specification (if any) associated with <nickname>. The lower key switch on
the control panel must be set to the Update position.
You can store up to 10 saved boot specifications plus the default
specification. Avoid using saved boot specification nicknames that are
identical to device specifications.
A Digital customer service engineer sets the system default boot device
at installation. The default is chosen to point to the system disk or
VAXcluster disk and to allow the system to reboot automatically after a
power interruption.
Before you name a boot specification, you may want to enter:
SHOW BOOT
This command displays all boot specification names that have been saved
to date. See Section 5.19 for additional information on the SHOW BOOT
command.
