Hello.
I started one virtual TU58 with RT11 5.3 from the COM1 of my laptop in my
PDP-11/23 PLUS using TU58EM.
In the same machine I have one DILOG DQ696 with one ESDI hard drive of 768
Mb. I want to convert the ESDI drive in a bootable device with RT11.
I've initialized the DU0 and copied the complete system from the DD0 (TU58)
Searching for the fast path to continue... Someone knows what must I do
exactly now to continue ? Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sergio

If you're certain the target disk contains DU.SYS (or DUX.SYS as
appropriate), you'll need to make it bootable. For example, this is
how to do it using RT11SJ. This is from memory, you may want to
double-check the syntax in the help system:
. COPY/BOOT:DU DU0:RT11SJ DU0:

Thank you, David. The information is correct. I installed succesfully RT11
5.3 in the ESDI drive. And, by now, at least can start my PDP-11/23 PLUS
with one Operating System :-)
Complementing previous information, the system has (by now) 2044Kw (4Mb) of
memory in a couple of memory boards, and one Dilog DQ696 with its own setup
ROM in 175000. This is important, because I can't bootstrap the DU (by now
too) from the "START?" prompt of the PDP-11/23 PLUS and I must do it from
the ODT prompt with this sequence:
START? Y
@175000G
*DU0
If I've read my manuals correctly I think that is possible to automate this
with switches in the DQ696 and the PDP cpu and front panel.
I leave the previous messages below of this answer for someone that want to
use it for configuration purposes.
Thanks again. Regards.
