127 RK11 controllers are not going to be nice. Most OSes will not
support that many controllers of any kind, and you'll also run into
issues with the vector space.
Not to mention that juggling with lots of small disks to fit your system
would be horrible.
Just sayin'... :-)

However, if
you want to write a device driver for a device you want to
boot from, you need to modify SAV as well, which is *not* documented,
and very non-trivial. Not recommended for the faint of heart.
Which is why it's probably easier to just _also_ configure a standard
RK11/RP11 whatever, and boot off that. (It's all 'software'! With the
right FPGA load, you could have 127 RK11 controllers! :-)
