A while back I posted a complete runnable SIMH setup
for 2.11BSD that is
patched thru #444. It's only missing the 'last' FPP patch that was
posted within the last year or so (#445).
It's located at: http://www.AK6DN.com/PDP-11/2.11BSD/
It is an RA72 1GB .dsk image file and a corresponding simh .ini file for
an 11/44 config (it also happens to work on my real 11/44). There are
also a sample boot log and a copy of the original 2.11BSD setup
instructions as a .pdf.
I don't know what it would take to make a new set of install tapes. I
started with the original install tapes to make the above setup, and
applied the missing last set of patches to make the setup be current
thru PL444.
Is it possible to install 2.11BSD from disk? Including a write-protected
disk (aka CD-R)? I'd just as soon not have to mess with tapes :^)
