I don't remember anything about setting it MINIMUM, but then I didn't
read all the Release Notes (I have no 4.2 doc set of my own yet).  In any
case, before the reboot the procedure tells you how to do a conversational
boot if need be.  You can always use that to clear out the "MINI" in
STARTUP_P1.  If worst comes to worst, you can always type in the bootstrap
by hand like I had to (for different reasons).

Since it boots with it's own startup procedure, it seems odd that it even
cares about the MINIMUM...

ps.  Has anyone else been getting duplicates of INFO-VAX or TCP-IP all
     day today?   Stuff looks like it's getting bounced off LOUIE.UDEL.EDU
     back to the mailing list.  This is getting ridiculous!!!!!
