+steps to bootstap a system.
+
+1) Load kernel and mini-root into memory with one of the PROM commands.
+ This is the only step that depends on what type of machine you are using.
+ The 'cnfg' PROM command will display what devices are avaliable
+ (DEC 5000 only).
+ The 'm' argument tells the kernel to look for a mini-root in memory.
+
+ DEC 3100: boot -f tz(0,5,0) m # 5 is the SCSI id of the TK50
+ DEC 5000: boot 5/tz6 m # 6 is the SCSI id of the TK50
+ DEC 5000: boot 6/tftp/bootfile m # requires bootp on host
+
+2) Format the disk if needed. Most SCSI disks are already formatted.
+ format
+
+3) Label disks and create file systems.
+ # disklabel -W /dev/rrz?c # This enables writing the label
+ # disklabel -w -r -B /dev/rrz?c $DISKTYPE
+ # newfs /dev/rrz?a
+ # newfs /dev/rrz?g
+ ...
+ # fsck /dev/rrz?a
+ # fsck /dev/rrz?g
+ ...
+
+ Supported disk types are listed in /etc/disktab.
+ Feel free to add to this list.
+
+4) Restore / and /usr partitions.
+ # mount -u /
+ # mount /dev/rz?a /a
+ # mount /dev/rz?g /b
+ # cd /a
+ # mt -f /dev/nrmt0 rew
+ # restore -rsf 2 /dev/rmt0
+ # cd /b
+ # {change tapes or tape drive}
+ # restore -rf /dev/rmt0
+ # cd /
+ # sync
+ # umount /a /b
+ # fsck /dev/rz?a /dev/rz?g
+
+5) Initialize the PROM monitor to boot automatically.
+ # halt -q
+
+ DEC 3100: setenv bootpath boot -f rz(0,?,0)vmunix
+ DEC 5000: setenv bootpath 5/rz?/vmunix -a
+
+6) After booting UNIX, you will need to create /dev/mouse in order to
+ run X windows. type `link /dev/xx /dev/mouse' where xx is one of the
+ following:
+ pm0 raw interface to PMAX graphics devices
+ cfb0 raw interface to turbochannel PMAG-BA color frame buffer
+ xcfb0 raw interface to maxine graphics devices
+ mfb0 raw interface to mono graphics devices
