<body class='hmmessage'>Thanks everyone who replied, the solution was to AUTOGEN the machine:<BR>

<BR>FYI, my config.cfg is now:<BR>

set rq0 RA92<BR>set rq1 cdrom<BR>set rq2 RA92<BR>set rq3 RA92<BR>att rq0 system.dsk<BR>att rq1 openvms71.img<BR>att rq2 data1.dsk<BR>att rq3 data2.dsk<BR>set console telnet=42<BR>set cpu idle=VMS<BR>set cpu 48M<BR>boot cpu<BR><BR>
$SHO MEM now shows 48Mbytes available to VMS.<BR>
