Diskless VMS install

[Glen Slick]

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.
