I managed to get RSTS-11 (circa 1974) installed on an RK05 drive for my
PDP-11/10. The M873-YA bootstrap loader does not seem to be able to boot
the disk.
I can boot the drive via a manual bootstrap routine.
I saw on a site that some bootloaders will refuse to boot a drive unless
the first byte is 240(8). On RSTS-11, the first byte is 300(8).
Any ideas why the bootstrap card is picky?
Thanks!
