2.4 Booting the System

VAX 4000 systems boot in one of two ways. You can configure the system
to autoboot on power-up or you can manually boot the system from console
mode. The Break Enable/Disable switch setting determines how the system
boots.

2.4.1 Autobooting the System

When the Break Enable/Disable switch is set to disable (the normal
operating setting), the system runs self-tests and, on completion, attempts
to load system software. Additionally, if the Break Enable/Disable switch
is set to enable, and the halt action
defined using the SET HALT command, the system will automatically
attempt to load system software.
Depending on whether or not a boot device has been selected, the system
loads system software or prompts you to select a boot device.
Loading System Software (With Boot Device Selected)
When a boot device has been selected, the system identifies the boot device
and the number ''2'' displays on the screen. As the system begins booting,
the countdown continues from 1 to 0.
