Our autoboot file contains 'start -r norecovery'.  If I remember
correctly, the '-r' was needed to tell ISL to resave the autoboot
file.  Otherwise you could only autoboot once.  Is this syntax still
correct or is our autoboot file outdated?

Log on as MANAGER.SYS, and do as follows:

STEP 1
:EDITOR
/A
     1  START NORECOVERY#@
     2  //
...
/C "#" TO '13 IN 1 <<changes # to a CR >>
/C "@" TO '10 IN 1 <<changes @ to LF >>
/KEEP AUTOBOOT
/EXIT

STEP 2
:SYSGEN
SY
AAUTO FILE=AUTOBOOT.PUB.SYS TYPE=DISC
HOLD
E
KE
EXIT

STEP 3

Creat new slt tape

STEP 4

At ISL prompt,

ISL > AUTOBOOT ON

STEP 5

BOOT FROM SLT AND UPDATE CONFIG

You MUST use the UPDATE CONFIG option to complete the task
successfully.
Failure to do so will not enable you to utilize the autoboot feature.

I believe this is all documented in Chris Bartram's FAQ at www.3k.com.
