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
