[Info-vax] C99 stuff (Re: The Road to V9.0)

[clair.grant@vmssoftware.com]

This list is much different from that of First Boot which was more or less a strict progression: we did 1 then 2 then 3, etc. and each step depended on the previous step. Many of the V9.0 steps will happen in parallel and the order is not very important. Once we get to Real Boot and can run user programs, then the flood gates open. There will certainly be important events along the way which are not in the list and we'll have something to say about those, too. 

Real Boot
	load all images, not just those needed for First Boot
	load/run LOGIN_AUF rather than jumping into SYS$LOGINOUT
	load/run DIRECTORY rather than jumping into SYS$DIRECTORY
	switch from MD to real disk during startup
	execute DIR command

Crash Dump
	load dump kernel
	force a crash dump (;C from XDELTA)
	take real crash dump
	analyze with SDA
