load image (that is, single image or modules).

other load modules ending in .ld, select modules.

enter the pathname to retrieve all load modules belonging to this load image.
Notes:
a. Information boxes appear as each load module is being transferred using
TFTP. Some time will transpire as each transferred load module is
written to the disk. An average load may take 10-12 minutes. When the
entire load has been transferred, the previous menu is displayed.
b. The operational code comes in the form of multiple load modules, headed
by LML.ld.
