particular, the appendix on Halt, Boot, and Shutdown Procedures
describes booting OpenVMS on DEC 3000 systems via Turbochannel options.
In your case, the correct command to boot the device with SCSI ID 1 on
the "B" channel of the PMAZB adapter in Turbochannel slot 0 is:
>>> BOOT "0/DKB100"
This syntax, including the quotation marks, is required.
In addition, some CD-ROM devices do not respond correctly for a short
time after a SCSI bus reset. You may need to increase the value of the
SCSI_RESET console environment variable. The recommended value for
CD-ROMs is 6, but lower values may work depending on the drive and the
SCSI bus configuration. For example:
>>> SET SCSI_RESET 6
Finally, the latest firmware for the PMAZB-AA adapter is V2.0. Please
obtain and install current firmware from the AlphaServer firmware web
pages.
