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.
You should never post when a Red Dwarf re-run is on :-)
The console knows nothing about anything really.
If you have OpenVMS on the disk you can boot it such that
it will dawdle in SYCONFIG (or rather, an almost-equivalent)
and have a chat with you and that's where you would
twiddle VAXCLUSTER and friends.
