I don't recall offhand what it is that bit 14 does, but I've always just booted using E0004000. The important point is that the high-order byte determines which rooted directory to boot from, and since you probably want all the other flags the same as for a normal boot, only that byte need be changed. I assume, by the way, that the RA81 already has the VMS system sitting in [SYS0...]. If it doesn't, STABAKIT will put the standalone kit in [SYS0...] in preference to [SYSE...].
