Thank you all for your help. I've learned a great deal today. Looking back at our documentation I see we used to use a LOAD command. HP had us use a "INSTALL" command at the ( I think) ISL prompt. What's the difference? After the INSTALL command does it return to the ISL prompt so we can do "START NORECOVERY NOSYSSTART"?
