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.

Has anyone ever made an up-to-date install tape
that doesn't require
you to apply all the patches? I've got a chicken/egg situation going
on, my PDP-11 uses a Viking QDT SCSI board, which requires one of the
very last patches in order to be supported.
I have an MTI QTS-30 (aka CMD CQD-200/Ts) and TTi QTS-1 / QTS-3 SCSI
tape controllers which I can use to boot a 2.11BSD install tape, but
the install process hangs up while trying to restore the files from
the tape to the hard drive. Anyone know for certain if the latest
patches might help that with these TMSCP controllers?
With the same SCSI tape drive and a CQD-220/TM I can complete the
2.11BSD tape install process to a hard drive attached to the
CQD-220/TM, but then it won't cold boot from the hard drive attached
to the CQD-220/TM. One of the MSCP boot loader patches is supposed to
fix that, but I haven't built and verified myself yet. It's on the to
do list.
