Well, I made it thru. Haven't tried moving it to a real PDP-11
yet but will try this weekend. Not sure what the patches that
didn't work actually do, so9 I hope it's nothing that will bite
me later. Still need to config and build a real kernel as I am
still using the GENERIC but I will likely let that wait until I
have it on the real PDP-11 where it will be running so that I can
match the kernel to the hardware.
Now I need a program that can move Tape data back and forth between
real drives and tap/tpc images. Anybody got one?
Also want to look at building the tools to do Ultrix-11 installs

A number of them require manual shell commands before applying,
which
makes the process harder than you'd expect.
Doesn't say anything about that in the accompanying text, either.
The patches were sent out by email with instructions on how to apply
them. This went on for years by different people so that process wasn't
uniform. I ran into this when I wanted to quickly create a bad
2.11github repo... I thought it would be quick, but quickly turned into
a pita. from VTServer as the number of real tape drives is
rapidly decreasing.
Hoping that 2.11 BSD will make a nice platform for doing a lot of this.
