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 /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
        # mt -f /dev/nrmt0 fsf 1
        # restore -rf /dev/nrmt0
        # cd /b
        # restore -rf /dev/nrmt0
        # 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
