Ah, forgot that. But indeed, R5 remains R5 when VMS starts booting, so 
your line might work. It's been a while since I booted a real 780, but 
wasn't there a special boot sequence from the floppies? I seem to recall 
that I once had @MINBOO.CMD, @RL0BOO.CMD and the like that contained the 
parameters for non-regular boots. Might work for R5 loading too.
