Do you have a VAX that doesn't know about clusters? Of course the ROM knows
about VMS and clusters! It's a bloody VAX! I don't suppose you'll remember
all the talking when Alpha VMS was released and people wondered whether the
Alpha firmware would expect VMSCLUSTER instead of VAXCLUSTER?
I spent 18 years working with VAXen and Alphas so I suspect I might know
what I'm talking about.

Also, if it's looking for a cluster then shut
it down to get to the
dead-sergeant prompt (>>>) and type SET VAXCLUSTER 0 to turn off the
clustering software.
The console ROM has no such command. The ROM knows nothing about VMS and
clusters.
