Diskless VMS install

One last note for now: If you get the SIMH InfoServer set up and then boot it with the OpenVMS VAX 7.3 installation CD image attached, the InfoServer should automount the installation CD and create a disk service to access the CD over the network. It should also execute the ISL_SCRIPT.ESS script in the root directory of the CD, which will create MOP services for the ISL_SVAX_073 and ISL_LVAX_073 initial bootstrap loader files. Assuming that you also have the network set up properly in SIMH so that the SIMH InfoServer can access the physical network of the host system and is reachable across the physical network from the physical VAX, you should then be able to follow the OpenVMS 7.3 installation manual sections on booting from and installing from an InfoServer. sim> SHOW RZ RZ 7 units RZ1 209MB, attached to infoserver.rz24, RZ24, autosize, RAW format RZ2 50MB, attached to ag-r7lfa-bs.img, read only, RZ24, autosize, RAW format sim> DETACH RZ2 sim> ATTACH RZ2 VAXVMS073.ISO RZ2: unit is read only RZ2: 'VAXVMS073.ISO' Contains ODS2 File system RZ2: Volume Name: VAXVMS073 Format: DECFILE11B Sectors In Volume: 1331200 sim> BOOT CPU KA41-2 V1.0 F_..E...D...C?..B?..A...9_..8?..7...6...5?..4_..3_..2_..1?.. ??
