There is that (dot-circle) button which is called halt. It should be in the position where the dot is outside the circle.

I still think (from reading the KA640 manuals) that some magical switch is not in the right posiition or something..

If it is like a 3300 (and I think it is) there are TWO
switches to set up properly to get an autoboot. I'll check my
3300's when I get home this evening and I'll post the
positions I have got.
Also, take into consideration the uVAX won't boot if the
NVRAM battery is dead... (It will try to netboot IIRC).
Oh, one last thing, you should set the default boot device:
SET BOOT Dxxx
And if it is clustered:
SET BFLAG x0000000 (being "x" the root suffix)

I'm out-of-town. Took a few minutes to catch-up on email. I will be
back online later this evening (very late - you will already be asleep).

yes, I'm not sure on your model, but on the 3100 is one of the dip
switches (white switch on red,) look in the back of the box, there
should be also a reset button next to it, when set it will boot
automagically the default boot disk (you need to set from SRM)

What I need to do to make it autoboot wasn't exactly clear :)
I'll take a look on Sunday when I have access to the machine itself.
