No need or reason to boot min.
                                                             
For OpenVMS V7.2-2 and later --

    First ensure that the latest PCSI remedial kit is installed.
    This should be a seperate installation; it should not require a re-boot.

    Then you can install all the other patches,
    either with separate PRODUCT INSTALL <kit> commands,
    or in a single PRODUCT INSTALL <kit>,<kit>,...,
    or just PRODUCT INSTALL * and choose the patch kits you want.

    After all desired kits are installed, reboot.

For older systems, which no longer have up-to-date PCSI remedial kits
avaiable, I suggest you install the patch kits one-by-one, and then
do a single re-boot.

As always, it is a *VERY* good idea to have a known good backup of your
system disk before installing or upgrading software products or patches.
