Is it possible to install 2.11BSD from disk?
Including a write-protected

Assuming you have SCSI for your PDP-11, the easiest way to install is to
build the system using simh and then dd the resulting disk image to a
SCSI drive attached to the system running the emulation. Move the disk
to the PDP-11 and away you go. Somehow that seems like cheating. I used
this method for my first installation and then made some 9-track tapes
so I could get the authentic experience. :-)
