.SH Description
.NXR "mkconsole program"

.NXR "console disk" "updating"
.NXR "console disk" "building"
The
.PN mkconsole 
shell script is used to either build or update console
storage media, as necessary, depending on the processor type.
It uses the 
.MS sizer 8 
program to sense the
processor type and accordingly, builds two boot command
procedures required to boot the currently booted system disk.
The VAX 11/780, VAX 11/785, VAX 11/730, VAX 8600 and VAX 8650 are the
only supported processor types.
After the console media is built or updated, you can 
boot the system using the 
.B b
or 
.B b ask 
commands from the console mode prompt.
.PP
If a 
.I kernel_image_name
is given as an argument, that file will be treated as
the running kernel file and opened by the sizer program.
The default kernel image name is /vmunix.
