But I never did a sysgen, assuming that is an actual
process.  I just
 formatted/initialized my disk, issued the right COPY commands to copy over
 system files and boot monitors, etc.  When I boot with that disk the DD
 drivers are already loaded. 
The Monitor you're using was Sysgen'd to load those drivers automatically.
You could probably free up a little memory by doing a Sysgen that just
includes the drivers you need.
