Interesting. I'm not to sure what you're stuck in. You should have been
able to tell it boot, and then when it asks you what disk to boot from. It
sounds like, as I suspected, you've got a boot menu very close to what I
have on my PDP-11/73.

My recommendation is that you post your question to either the vmsnet.pdp-11
or alt.sys.pdp11 newsgroups. The chances of finding someone there that
knows is far greater than here.
