Do you, indeed, have the DECWindows server started?
Is there a Gxx0: device? Configured? Channels assigned?
DECWindows is started and I do NOT have a Gxx0: device.
Try setting SYSGEN parameter STARTUP_P2 to "VDC" in a conversational boot
and then continue. You will find a STARTUP.LOG file in SYS$SYSTEM which
might hold some clues. ;)
I would...except the error is generated from VAXELN. ;)

VMS DUMP the first block. You should see the BACKUP command in the ASCII
translation. If there's a /BLOCK listed, use that value; otherwise, there
are defaults as you have discovered.
Didn't even need to DUMP it. VMSINSTAL didn't complain.
Don't feel bad, I've been dealing with this for 20 years when trying to get
VMS crash dump files from customers sent to me in tact via the internet. ;)
I'm impressed I figured out that LRL was the value I wanted. ;)
Luck. ;)
Yup. ;)

Had I known then what they'd be worth today, I'd have stockpiled thousands.

You'd need the expansion plate, I believe, because it provided the interface
to the external disk and the rudimentary SCSI for the TK50Z.
Ahh.
Now...I'm confused as hell here.
I have SYS$STARTUP:DECW$STARTUP running...and I have a mouse cursor on the
VR290...but I'm not getting a DECwindows LOGINOUT prompt. Is it memory
related?
