Having the CDROM write protected is normal for

Yes, it's vnormal that the CDR is ro..
I have the following devices:
du3 .. CDROM
and DISK0$DIA0 (RF31)
and DISK1$DIA1 (RF31)
and DISK2$DIA2 (RF71)

Choose a disk that is unused/empty.
Once you get the $ or $$$ prompt, you need to restore the save from the CDROM to your
target disk using BACKUP.
My installation looked like this. DKA700 is the VAXVMS073 CDROM. DKA0: is the unused
disk. Both disks are on the SCSI bus.
During the restore, control-T shows the progress.
Once I finished the restore of the OS to the new disk, booting from that disk
automatically starts the rest of the install process.

$$$ backup/image/verify dka700:vms073.b/save dka0:

$$$ log
I've booted the CD w/o any bootflag in R5 to the $ prompt.
, it asks for the date/time and displays the devices like above
(DISK0$DIA0 but DU3) and asks if that list is correct, yes it is.
After that I've issued:
$ backup/image/verify dua3:vms073.b/save disk0$dia0:
(dia0 only doesn't work)
I've get a long list about many files (from the cdrom)
and SYSTEM-F-VOLINF, volume is not software enabled
A while ago I've reformated an tested the 3 DSS
I disks with the firmware on them, the disks are all empty.
I think here is a step missing, Do I have to initialize them first?
The disks are ok, the veryfy programs on them saying that....
