You can make editor part of the system file via sysgen then it would be on a
SLT.

that's all quite true....although (like you said) if i was bringing the
system
up single-disc i *really* think i'd be saying nossystart too :-)  i'm trying
to
remember the exact subtly about *why* you want the sysstart file on ldev
1....but my brain's not being helpful at the moment :-)  it probably has
something to do with reloading the system....  btw -- is editor on ldev 1
too??
think about it....you've had an 'uh oh' and the only thing you've got is
ldev
1.  what are you going to edit a file with?  hmmmm.....

we're not seeing all the changes you might have made, i hope...  what if
sysstart has changed?  does it get copied into sscopy in a different
step?         - d
