The MicroVAX 3900 console ROM does not support the QVSS so the console
won't transfer to that window. DECwindows does support the QVSS however
so at the end of the boot process you should get the graphical login
screen in the QVSS window.

I know some others were asking so for the record to get DECwindows
running you need to install the DECwindows kit and the appropriate
licence (DW-MOTIF). You also need to set the WINDOW_SYSTEM parameter in
SYSGEN. This has three settings:

0 - No Window System
1 - DECwindows
2 - VWS

If you want a VAX that supports the QVSS as a console then you'll need
to use the VAXstation I or VAXstation II simulators (microvax1, microvax2).
