Okay, here is what I learned. ?My comments are in

This is great! thanks for taking the time to chase this down.
1. When writing an image out to the HD, you must have
the exact same number
of blocks for the image and the HD. ?(This is why I'd suggested dd'ing the
HD to an image, using that image with SIMH to do the install, and then
dd'ing it back.)
Ok, this is easy to test, I will report back with the results.
4. RSTS/E might only support up to a 2GB drive (I use
a 2GB drive).
I will be using 1GB (or thereabouts) drive.

No problem, it is good to get knowledge about devices where very
little is known out there.
Now for an interesting bit of info. Apparently there are two
different types of Firmware. One for the PDP-11, and one for VAXen.
I'll see if I can get a little bit more info on that.
Now for the important part, the whole manual.

Looking through the list of supported hardware I see where this is a
board that is of use to very few Hobbyists. It is interesting that
the older versions of the OS's can't support it, when they support
something like a Viking QDT just fine.
