in Rev 5.3C firmware (latest I've seen), some commands have changed.

        boot -f tz(0,5)
         is now
        boot 5/tz5
  
        setenv bootpath rz(0,0,0)vmunix
         is now
        setenv boot "5/rz0/vmunix -a"
 
a document detailing this is available for FTP from decuac in:
~ftp/public/postscript/DS5000_console_command_comparison.ps
