2 people who have done the VMS V4.2 upgrade related the following problem:

On a 780 using a tapedrive as distribution medium.

Procedure tells you to set SYSGEN so it will do a "MINUMUM" startup.  It
then does a reboot and promptly says "No such device MTxy:".  

Analysis: A MINIMUM Startup.COM doesn't do an AUTOCONFIG and thus doesn't
configure the tapedrive.

Did my people screw up?  Is the documentation wrong?
What's the simplest fix?

Thanks.
