Is a RT-11 Media Kit on TK-50, that was built under
V5.4 using some command
which currently escapes me, bootable?
If it was built with MUB.COM, yes, it is bootable.
I just realized that apparently V5.3
doesn't support TK50's.
Right, it doesn't.
BLEEP!!!!
I'd just try it, but don't want to have to type in the bootstrap if it
isn't. Rather spend the time trying to figure out the best sequence of
hoops to jump through if it isn't! BEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Just when I was
starting to make some serious progress at getting my /73 put back together.
BLEEP!
I have to admit that I'm a bit unclear on what the problem is that
you're trying to solve, much less what you're trying to do to overcome
the difficulties that you're throwing in your own path :-).

Thank Goodness! I have to

I'm trying to
move my system onto better disks. Plus, I'd managed to pretty
much trash my RT-11 system a few months ago, when I last had time to work on
it. Then add in the fact that my system is such a mutant beast (as an
example the HD controller it boots off of isn't the one it is using for
disks) that I've never managed to get floppies working on it and you've got
a real mess. The TK-50 question is a result of my having built a
V5.4 distribution tape to
avoid some of these problems, plus having another tape with at least a
partial backup. This was a nightmare to get setup the first time so I'm
trying to avoid some of that by recovering stuff off of tape, as opposed to
jumping through the same hoops I did last time.
If you can set-up a system with an RX50, that should solve the problem
of having a minimum RT-11 set of files that you can always boot from.
On the other hand now that I'm thinking clearer
than I was last night I've
realized that if I can figure out which of the 4 HD's sitting in a pile has
RT-11 on it, I should probably just hook it up, and SYSGEN in that
controller. Which should give me the added benifit of being able to back
the system up to the old Hard Drive when everything is sorted out.
Don't wait to back it up - do the backup ASAP!!
Sincerely yours,
