Having the CDROM write protected is normal for read-only media. The target drive needs
to be write enabled. Before you boot the CD, list the disks you have.
>>sh device
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.

Hmm.. it seems that the pdf is containing thestuff that I've already read
somewhere on HP's website.
There are two possibilities:
[>>> B/R5:10000000 DKA400:

[If you are booting from an InfoServer device, enter a command that
[specifies root 1. For example, on a VAX 6000 computer, enter:
[
[
[>>> B/R5:10000100/X:D/B:6 ET0
[
Ok, the first should fit with an abbrevation:
B/R5:10000000 DUA3
(I have a VAX4000-300 not an VS4000/90, nor I have an VAX6000..)
and this boots until the message with the write protected disk
dua3..(sorry, don't have it handy..) and than the system hangs.
When I simply boot B dua3 the install system asks for a date
and I finally get a "$". Thats all..
That's why I've asked what todo..

Section 3 takes you through the basics on how create a new disk. I used the same
procedure just last week.
Good Luck.
