Under normal circumstances this is true. I, however, have to convince the
thing to boot off of an SI something-or-other at god-only-knows-what TR
address. I was VERY happy to see I could talk RT-11 to the thing until I
get the SI disk drives installed and up and running. Also, I think it's
a good idea to be able to get at the boot command files and edit them
under adverse circumstances. I just want that extra level of security...
On 780's I try to have command files for booting off of just about anything,
but have found myself typing the bootstrap in by hand on several occasions.

ps. I'm not using SI drives that require patched drivers, so don't tell
me I'm attempting the impossible! (only the unsupported)
