Forgetting to mark the disk off just means that you have to run fastchek on it before you can mark it on again read/write.

* MA DSC4:,ON,P
DSC4:  SYS PROT
* L F,FASTCHEK,100
* MA DSC4:,OFF
* T F
* ST,CH=DSC4:,NOR,EXT,LI=CON:,LO=CON:
<lots of stuff comes out>
END OF TASK
* MA DSC4:,ON,,CD=A

From memory - not sure FASTCHEK s one of the programs that takes both list and log options. If you don't give it start options it will go into an interactive mode and ask you lots of questions.

Hi Davis,

It only took half an hour and one cup of coffee to get the 8-32
to boot from disk! And that even included a re-install since I
forgot to do the "MARK DSC4:,OFF" at the end.

Now, to write a program...

Thanks for all your help. I couldn't have done this without it.

Don
