Oh my, I created a storm in a teacup.
Here I was thinking that the EFI screen was the more interesting to show for the geeks you all are. No more, no less.
I deliberately exposed it (arrow key at the right time) instead of an all too familiar DECwindows splash screen or 'show system' output.
Was considering a 'show fru' or as other low level alternative.
The EFI screen seemed to give a nice overview of the system, acknowledging both OpenVMS, the RX2660, and some details such as the generous 32 GB memory and 4 (logical) CPU's.
Cheers,
Hein
