Brad Wherry had the right answer (SET BOOT XQA0) but..
There are two major revisions of the console ROMs on KA650 processors.
The early ones
used the same sort of 'sniffer' boot as the MicroVAX II.. which, it
appears, is what you
have. The newer ROMs have a bunch of new commands, including the ability
to
set the boot device.

I doubt that there's any FCO to upgrade the ROMs.
