My question is, what am I looking for in order to load
RT-11? Is RT-11
easier to install via tape, or am I looking for a bootable disk pack?
Can be done from either. I've never installed RT11 from tape, but the
manuals describe it. I don't have a bootable tape, though, and I don't
know enough about it to generate one.
I would also like to know if one of the PDP-11
emulators would assist me
to learn what I need to do in terms of bootstrapping a system. I have
used a PDP-11 10+ years ago, but never needed to bootstrap a system.
Either Bob Supnik's SIMH or John Wilson's E11 should work fine for you.
I've run RT11 and RSTS/E on both.
