If you're looking for the Install guide, it should be on the media you
received, though the media is, unfortunately, not in a PC-compatible
format (ODS-2, not ISO-9660, Joliet, etc.). Look for an [ALPHA072]
directory and see if there's [.DOCUMENTATION] directory under that.

Otherwise, since VMS is VMS is VMS is VMS ... (i.e., there is no
"hobbyist version", only hobbyist LICENSING), you could go to the
OpenVMS documentation site: http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/doc and check
out OpenVMS Operating System documentation link. It only goes back to
V7.3, but it won't be THAT far off...

Hope this helps...
