Your setup is similar to mine, but I have a DS100. You need to do two
things:

- get the load host file for the DS200, IIRC it is called PR0801ENG.SYS (the
DS100 uses a file that is called PS0801ENG.SYS)
- make sure LANCP is running (i.e. put @sys$startup:lan$startup in
systartup_vms.com) and configure it like this:

$ mc lancp
lancp>define node ds200/address=08-00-2b-11-22-33 -
            /boot_type=other/file=PR0801ENG.SYS/root=MOM$LOAD
$ reply/enable=net

At this point power up the DS200, make sure you have a transceiver with
heartbeat enabled and watch it load. The on-board HELP is of typical Digital
quality, hardly any need for additional manuals.
