I apologize for having questions in advance. Having deffective genes is
not my fault :-)


At what point in the boot sequence does VMS establish virtual memory,
and the various modes for code execution (and memory protection) ?

Would it be correct that this section of the boot is where the most work
is needed to tailor to an architecture such as x86 ?

When VMS implements the various memory protection schemes, is this a one
time x86 specific setup early in boot, or do those x86 specific changes
propagate well beyond initial boot all the way (for instance) to image
activator etc ?
