Just out of curiosity, have you tried creating a dummy file called N:\DATABASE_DEV\SYS1DEV.ORA and trying it again? You might have to put the file in the directory you are running the startup from as there's no pathing.
You can create the file using vi:
vi N:/\DATABASE_DEV/\SYS1DEV.ORA (using the \ to escape the /)
