Having the CDROM write protected is normal for read-only media. The target
drive needs to be write enabled. Before you boot the CD, list the disks you
have.
>>>sh device
Choose a disk that is unused/empty.
Once you get the $ or $$$ prompt, you need to restore the save from the CDROM
to your target disk using BACKUP.
My installation looked like this. DKA700 is the VAXVMS073 CDROM. DKA0: is the
unused disk. Both disks are on the SCSI bus.
During the restore, control-T shows the progress.
Once I finished the restore of the OS to the new disk, booting from that disk
automatically starts the rest of the install process.
