I have a curious problem when booting my workstation from the VR290
monitor instead of from the attached console terminal. When
DECW$STARTUP connects the console device with SYSGEN, everything is
fine from the terminal. However, SYSGEN would complain that it cannot
find the file SYS$SYSTEM:CSDRIVER.EXE when the system is booted from
the monitor. Everything would then seem to come up normally. The
strange thing is i've been searching other workstations in the group to
look for that file but could not find it. The others don't seem to have
that problem.
It may also be related that when the system is shutdown, the monitor
would be left in some hanging state instead of dropping out to the
>>> prompt.
What can i do to correct this? Any help would be appreciated.

No. The shutdown situation is a known issue. See note 97 for an
explanation and some workarounds.
As far as not finding CSDRIVER.EXE...
It's strange the SYSGEN is looking in SYS$SYSTEM. CSDRIVER.EXE is
found in SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES along with all the other device drivers.
What version are you running? Does SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:CSDRIVER.EXE
exist? What type of workstation are you working on(GPX,MAYFAIR,etc)?
In DECW$DEVICE.COM is where the console gets connected depending
on the workstation type. Is SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES defined as
SYS$SYSROOT:[SYS$LDR]? I would suspect so since you are not having
problems with other drivers.
