I have a bootable 100MB RSX-11M image in SIMH

identical to my machine, so it should be straightforward,
but when I try to boot my disk, I get a "not bootable"
response from the ROM (the activity light on the Zip
drive does flash momentarily, so I know something is
going on, but it doesn't look like it's taking enough time
to actually seek anything (and when I boot through the
bootstrap provided by the CQD-220 ROM, I get a HALT
at 000002, which tells me it's probably getting all zeroes).
How are you transferring the image to the ZIP? With Linux, I can dd an
image created with E11 to the ZIP, and it boots fine with a CQD.
