The operating system messages start here, that is VMS ...
If the power-up tests encounter an error, one of the following actions occurs:
For minor errors:
• If HALT action is set to a boot condition (that is reboot or restart_reboot),
and if a minor error occurs, the system displays an abbreviated error
message and continues to boot as normal.
• If HALT action is set to Default, Halt or Restart, then the system enters
console mode.
• The only errors defined as minor are errors in memory that cause pages
to be marked bad in the memory bitmap. There must be enough good
memory left to allow an attempt to bootstrap.
For severe errors:
• The system always enters console mode regardless of HALT action after it
attempts to complete all tests possible.
