The system
boots to the console fine. From that point, when
I boot from the boot device I get an error indicating that
there is insufficient disk space on that boot device for one
or more processes. This error cycles and the machine never
boots to the operating system, so I'm never at a point where
I can clean up the offending disk.
I know there has to be a way to fix this. I'm sure it's
probably really simple, too. I'm just not familiar enough
with this operating system or machine to know what to do.
Are there any OpenVMS sages out there with any suggestions?

I'm not sure what the incantation is, but booting to single-user
mode should help you out. At least get it up enough to clean house.
and look for:
MGMT5. I've forgotten the SYSTEM password - what can I do?
It sounds like the problem is your disk has filled up as a result of the
log files having not been PURGE'd. So you'll need to find your logs and do
something like:
PURGE OPERATOR.LOG
Which reminds me I still need to automate purging the SMBD_STARTUP.LOG's on
my server....
