ok.  guess it's just my memory, then :-)

uh....can you say 'bloomin pain in the seating area'? :-)

that got me to wondering if 'sysstart on ldev 1' was an urban ledgend or
not.  please check this posting from steve hammond:
<http://raven.utc.edu/cgi-bin/WA.EXE?A2=ind9910B&L=hp3000-l&P=R6391>

he says -- the documentation says it's got to be on ldev 1.....type type
type...and sure enough:
=============
The SYSSTART file must be created by MANAGER.SYS and needs to reside on LDEV
1 to function properly. Once the file is created, use the following commands
to copy the file to the appropriate location:

   HELLO MANAGER.SYS
   FILE SYSSTART;DEV=1
   FCOPY FROM=tempfilename;TO=*SYSSTART;NEW

If an error exists in the SYSSTART file, the startup process ignores it and
continues execution.
===============

i'm curious about the effects of the above file equation and the fcopy.  it
doesn't look to me like sysstart (created as suggested above) would
necessarily reside entirely on ldev 1.  (and i won't comment lack of
security in the above example....)          - d
