Try looking at Section 6.1 in "Installing/Operating 4.2BSD"
- Section  62 in Volume 2  of the system manual.
It suggests that when at the console command level you can 
say:-
	>>> B ANY

or, on a 750

	>>> B/3

and that these commands boot and ask for the name of the
system to be booted. If you use /newvmunix as the name of
your new system and things go wrong /vmunix will be rebooted
when/if your new system falls over. If all goes well you can
link /newvmunix to /vmunix so that 'ps' and co. work O.K.

We have two 750's and use this when trying out new things.
