Using SEARCH
 To set search paths each time the server comes up, place the SEARCH
commands in the autoexec.ncf file.
 If you execute SECURE CONSOLE, SEARCH is disabled to prevent
modules from being loaded from directories other than the boot directory.
The sys:system search path remains in effect, but you cannot create new
search paths.
Once you execute SECURE CONSOLE, you must bring down the server
and reboot it to create additional search paths.
NOTE: When the server comes up and volume SYS: is mounted, the search path
to the boot partition is deleted.
