Using tu58em to boot standalone backup on 11/750 ?

by david_comley＠yahoo.com

Has anyone ever tried using the tu58em program to boot a VMS 5.2 install standalone backup on an 11/750 ? I ask because I am attempting to do so, and I keep encountering mount verify errors when I get to the fourth tape in the set. I see a lot of web references to using tu58em in the PDP-11 world, but not so much on the VAX. I suspect some sort of protocol error caused by an invalid response from the emulator. Same problem with the VMS 5.3 install, by the way. Before I pursue this approach to installing the OS any further I thought I'd see whether there's a known issue trying to do this. -Dave
