For some reason as I do a >>>Boot, the system boots ok, but just after it loads the VMS header, it drops out to a DCL($) prompt. then I have to type in SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP to continue and finishing bootstrapping the OS to the login prompt (actually starts DECMotif Windowing). How do i get it past that little annoyance. Thanks.

Re: getting vms 7.3.1 on alpha to boot fully from the console prompt
Matthew,
without (much) more detail, the first thing I would check is the value of the SYSGEN param
STARTUP_P1
I would not be surprised if it is set to "MIN"
_IF_ that is the case, do
$ MC SYSGEN
USE CURRENT
SET STARTUP_P1 ""
WRITE CURRENT
EXIT
$
hth
Proost.
Have one on me.

Solution
This is almost certainly the console startup as determined by the SYSBOOT (SYSGEN) setting of SET /STARTUP=OPA0: and not the STARTUP_MIN setting mentioned earlier. The former gets you to the $ prompt when set to OPA0: and the latter gets you a partial or full boot depending on its "MIN" or "" setting, respectively; the STARTUP_P1 doesn't get you to the $ prompt either way.
Boot conversationally, and then:
SYSBOOT> SET /STARTUP=SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM

Or plain STARTUP.
