          **warning** no NMCONFIG file in this configuration.
          **warning** NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS is now the NMCONFIG file

          ** First level command **

  sysgen>
Make your system configuration changes through the utility configurators. For information, refer to System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual. Return to the first-level SYSGEN menu and keep the changes to the new configuration group: 

   sysgen>KEEP
or 

   sysgen>KE

   Keeping to group NEWFIG
   Purge old configuration (yes/no)?Y

   sysgen>
At this point, your configuration changes have been saved to disk under the configuration group NEWFIG. If you specify NEWFIG as the base group and you issue the TAPE command, NEWFIG is written to the backup as CONFIG.SYS, overwriting the default configuration files.

Recall the new configuration and generate a system load backup: 

   sysgen>BA NEWFIG

   sysgen>TA
If you are completely confident that you have a working configuration, exit SYSGEN. Otherwise, recall the original CONFIG.SYS and store it under a different group name: 

   sysgen>BASEGROUP CONFIG
or 

   sysgen>BA CONFIG

   sysgen>KEEP OLDFIG
   sysgen>

   sysgen>EXIT
   END OF SUBSYSTEM
   :
If the system does not boot under the new CONFIG group, you can use the START GROUP=OLDFIG option under the initial system loader (ISL) to boot the system under the original CONFIG group. For more information on the ISL START command and options, refer to System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual.
