You got it! :)

Me either...we don't have an ldev 999 :)

BTW, our SYSSTART file ends with:  STREAM STARTUP.JOB.SYS
...which is where we put most of our other startup stuff.

Historical note: it was actually possible, IIRC, to configure an MPE V
machine such that ldev 1 didn't exist, and the boot disk was ldev 2.
It sure fouled up programs that assumed ldev 1 should exist, or that
LUN 1 = LDEV 1.   (LUN = Logical Unit Number, sort of a counter of
disk ldevs.  You might have ldevs 1, 3, and 5, with LUNs 1, 2, 3)

I haven't tried this with MPE/iX.
