Hi,

I think the OpenVMS 8.2 Upgrade & Installation manual should give you all the commands you need to get the O/S loaded.

I'd probably not use OpenVMS V8.2 here unless there was a critical and specific requirement for that release, I'd use either (better) V8.2-1 or (best) V8.3.

The details on the OpenVMS installation are in the installation manual for the particular release. Here's the general pointer for OpenVMS-related manuals:

http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/doc

As for the console commands, EFI and MP are large, arcane, cryptic and (for someone simply seeking to get some real work done) an area that should be generally avoided. There are a hundred or more console-level commands, and multiple interface and command modes.

The OpenVMS installation manual covers the EFI console and MP commands that are minimally necessary to get going, to install OpenVMS, and to configure default bootstraps and such.
