[CCTALK] Test post and DEC Unix question

Ethan, the "-flags" option of the "boot" command takes _one_or_two_ longwords as an argument, so specifying "-fl 1" defaults to "-fl 0,1". Both set the high-order longword to zero, and the low-order longword to one, which for Unix seems to mean single-user mode. For VMS, it would mean conversational bootstrap. I believe DEC put the comma in for readability. With a VAX' comparable /R5:n option, you could have up to eight hex digits, which is acceptable, but sixteen hex digits with "-flags n" would just be too much to read comfortably. BTW: If dkc0 is set as your default boot device (bootdef_dev), you should be able to just "b" into normal (multiuser) operating mode, or "b -fl 1" if you need something special.
