Of particular use might be this writeup on installing
PRIMOS Revs 22 or
23 on the emulator. It's set up for the old demo version of the
emulator, so needs a fair amount of updating, but may help get you
started. I'll work on it soonish.

I got as far as MAKE options prompt. After entering:
-disk -part -dt -new -ac -badlev -baud -nin -dbs -nfl -sec
something appeared to get stuck in a loop, displaying:
Press Enter to continue, h to halt...
over and over again. I eventually resorted to killing the emulator. It
took a kill -9 to get it to end. In case it gives any clues, after killing
it the error.log contained:
-nport is zero, PNC not started
emulator: device '7 failed initialization - device removed
-tport is zero, AMLC devices not started
emulator: device '53 failed initialization - device removed
emulator: device '54 failed initialization - device removed
I did use the file names mentioned as being needed by newer versions of the
emulator, disk26u0.160m and mt0.
