tried this in the meantime... the system boots with b/r5:10000000 dua3: ...warnings about cannot map sysdump.dmp on the system disk, cannot map pagefile.sys on the systemdisk OpenVMS (TM) .. something.. %WBM-I-WBMINFO Write bitmap has successfuly completed %sysinit-e --error opening system dump file.. blabla.. %SYSTEM-I-MOUNTVER, DUA3: has been writer-locked. Mount verification in progress. and here it hangs, nothings happens. Can't get a prompt ot type anything. ...Rest tomorrow. Enough for today. Thanks in the meantime and good night !
