I thought you were using an 11/73. Just get into the console and type b
mu0: to boot the tape if it is at 1774500. I am on the road right now but
when I get back I could look up the CPU info and let you know the how to get
into the console. My brain is dead right now - been up for 21 hours and
just finished eating dinner.

I'm seriously bummed. However, I finally got smart and made a bootable
TK-50 so if need be I can load RT-11 without to much difficulty (other than
having to type in the bootstrap by hand).

I am, but I built it myself. The key piece of hardware is the WQESD
controller, it has the boot ROMs, and it supports MS:, not MU:
Trust me, more than once I've wished this thing was using standard DEC boot
ROMs. Initially I was booting by typing the DU: bootstrap in by hand so I
could boot a RD52.
The dual height OEM CPU doens't have a console built in. That requires the
non-OEM version, which IIRC is quad-height. More than once I've been
tempted to replace the /73 with a really beautiful /23+ board that I've
got, which has a very nice console, and all the CPU upgrades.
