Hello list,
Is it possible to boot a 11/04 (16kW core) without any drives?
This may just be fantasizing..
1. Connect a PC to the PDP via the console
2. Have a program (a'la vtserver) serve out a disk image
3. Toggle in a bootstrap loader to load from that virtual disk
4. Jump to start of image
Possible?
Very possible. That is how Xinu worked, and how various of my
"fun things" work.
