There are two possibilities:

[If you are booting from an InfoServer device, enter a command that

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 is all that is to be expected. Not sure what you were expecting,
but if you read the VMS installation manuals, you will see that this is
where you should end up.
And at this point, you run BACKUP to restore the initial saveset to a
disk, and then you boot that disk to continue.
That's why I've asked what todo..
And now you know. :-)

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