[Info-vax] personal workstation: configure to boot VMS

Due to some planned but notified-us-at-short-notice maintenance on the 
electricity supply today, I noticed that a battery in a personal 
workstation had gone bad and thus doesn't know what to boot after the 
power came back on.  Had I had more notice I would have thought of this 
and found my notes.  :-(

At the moment there is only a serial connection (VT320), no graphics 
terminal.  I know that that is sufficient to set it to boot VMS, but F2 
doesn't bring me into the setup.

Does anyone remember or can can anyone point me to instructions on how
to get into the setup of a PWS via a serial terminal?  And, once there,
what do I need to do to get it to boot VMS?  (I might remember once I'm 
there and/or find my notes, but it would be quicker if someone has some 
pointers.)
