 I believe the OS image you want to boot HAS to be called MONITR.SYS on

  the bootable disk. 
Only in really ancient versions of RT-11; not in V5.  David's problem
may have been that the RT11FB.SYS was SYSGENed inappropriately.  The
COPY/BOOT copies a section of the monitor into block 0 of the disk.
