The Question is:
How can I startup VMS cleanly, bypassing all the startup files
The Answer is :
You will not want to bypass all startup files, as the standard system
startup files (including SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM) establish the context

see the emergency startup and shutdown sections of the OpenVMS System
Managers' Essentials manual.

and to then set the system parameter STARTUP_P1 to "MIN.
