Looks like it involves loading some bootstrap images into the
simulator at various stages during the installation process with
simulator commands that I am not familiar with:
Example:
sim> load -o ./tp/copy 0
sim> run 2
sim> load -o ./tp/boot 0
sim> run 2
sim> load -o ./boot43 0
sim> d r10 9
sim> d r11 0
sim> run 2
Where copy and boot were extracted from srcsys.tar on the
distribution tape. I guess on real hardware you would need to
somehow get those files onto whatever the console media is, however
that works.
I used VMS to copy them to the console media when I was getting my
11/780 booted, because that was the most convenient way I had of
putting files on an RX01 (it has a DEUNA). The commands listed pretty
closely mirror what you'd type on the console, or put into
an "indirect" (aka script) file on the console media.
