Example 3–4 shows a boot from a CD-ROM on a local drive. The example is

abbreviated. For complete instructions on booting OpenVMS, see the OpenVMS

installation document.

Power up the system. The system stops at the SRM console prompt,

P00>>>.

Set boot environment variables, if desired. See Section 3.1.

Install the boot medium. For a network boot, see Section 3.4.1.

Enter the show device command

drive for your device.

Enter the boot command and command-line parameters (if you have not set

the associated environment variables.) In Example 3–4, the boot command

with the -flags option
