A friend has a VAXstation 3100 (NOT a DECstation).  He'd like to use
the alternate console capability to boot it from a normal CRT AND
be able to run the window manager (DECwindows) on the workstation 
display.  He's working with Ultrix 4.0, to be upgraded to 4.1 soon.
So far he is having no luck getting this to work.  Any ideas
greatly appreciated.
