! The RSXINS procedure needs to know the locations of two programs that 
!it uses to install RSX-20F on your front-end disk.
!
! F11 is a TOPS-10 program that manipulates front-end file system
!files. It is used to create, initialize, and populate the FE.SYS file
!on the target structure.  It is also used to write the FELOAD bootstrap
!program onto the boot area (physical blocks 1 and 4 through 7) of the disk.
!
! FELOAD.BIN is the image of the FELOAD boostrap that F11 reads when it
!is writing the boot blocks.
!
! If you answer Y to this question, RSXINS will look for F11 and FELOAD on
!SYS:.  If you answer N, RSXINS wil ask you for the locations of each
!of these files.

!
! ** Note ** It is important that the console FE running on the
!target structure ('a:) not access the FE.SYS area during the course of
!the installation, otherwise the front-end system could crash.  This in
!itself is not a problem, because RSXINS will reload the FE after the
!new file system is built. However, if the KL10 CPU were to crash
!during the installation procedure before the update process was
!completed, then the front end would not be rebootable from the RP06
!disk.  It would be necessary to boot the front end from console media 
!(floppies or DECtapes), after which you could then reload the monitor.
!
!While the likelihood of this happening is quite minimal, it is
!possible.  There are steps that you can take to minimize this risk
!further, such as:
!
.mic input X, "* Press RETURN to continue: "
!
!	* Use the SHUTDOWN or STOP commands in OPR to stop any unit-record 
!	  devices (card readers and line printers) connected to the
!	  front end during the update.
!
!	* Do not run this procedure if the time is within 15 minutes of
!	  midnight. This prevents the possibility of
!	  RSX-20F attempting to run the MIDNIT task during the update.
!	  If it is close to midnight, refrain from answering the final
!	  question in this procedure until after 12.01 AM (by the system
!	  clock).
!
!	* Avoid running this procedure if the monitor is unstable
!	  or there is a high incidence of hardware failures.  A
!	  system crash in the middle of the procedure would leave the 
!	  FE.SYS file in a partially-updated state. The front end
!	  would then have to be reloaded from console media.
