Has anyone ever tried using the tu58em program to boot a VMS 5.2 install standalone backup
on an 11/750 ?
I ask because I am attempting to do so, and I keep encountering mount verify errors when I
get to the fourth tape in the set. I see a lot of web references to using tu58em in the
PDP-11 world, but not so much on the VAX. I suspect some sort of protocol error caused by
an invalid response from the emulator. Same problem with the VMS 5.3 install, by the way.
Before I pursue this approach to installing the OS any further I thought I'd see
whether there's a known issue trying to do this.
