It sounds like your system defaults to a conversational boot which is, as
far as I recall, set by setting the least significant bit in register 5

>>> boot /r5=1

Usually, unless you are booting stand alone backup or are a cluster member,
the machine should boot with register 5 set to 0 and you only set it to 1
if you want to do a conversational boot.
