The syntax is:
set bootdef_dev boot_device
boot_device The name of the device on which the system software has
been loaded. To specify more than one device, separate the
names with commas.
Example
In this example, two boot devices are specified. The system will try booting
from dkb0 and, if unsuccessful, will boot from dka0.
P00>>> set bootdef_dev dkb0, dka0
NOTE: When you set the bootdef_dev environment variable, it is recommend-
ed that you set the operating system boot parameters as well, using the
set boot_osflags command.

The boot_file environment variable specifies the default file name to be
used for booting when no file name is specified by the boot command.
The syntax is:
set boot_file filename

In this example, a boot file is specified for booting OpenVMS from the
InfoServer. APB_0712 is the file name of the APB program used for the
initial system load (ISL) boot program.
