I also tried to boot RT11 (5.05) but this does not come
further than
doing a few I/O's before the machne stops. I know it isn't supported, but
if I'm not misinformed, it may run anyway?
Yes, it should run just fine. I suspect you still have some
hardware issues...

That problem has been solved now. I had not enough memory in the system to boot
the XM monitor. I assumed it was the SJ one, but alas....
Nice to see what 'show all' is showing on the screen :=)
I also tried to boot RSX 11M 4.5 from the distribution kit, it boots, but only
executes 1 redirect command and stops in MCR (cpu still runs).
When I manually execute the 2nd 'red' command and execute the startup.cmd command
file, it performs the other tasks.
Of course, the first thing to do is to see what the autoconfigure job is saying,
but it stop the machine completely after a few second.
Ah well, first to run the diagnostics to see if the cpu is healthy.

Jerome Fine replies:
I assume that you booted V5.05 of RT-11? I thought it would run
RT11XM with less than 64 KBytes, but I guess not.
If you have the RT11SJ monitor on the system disk, then the command:
BOOT RT11SJ
will boot the SJ monitor without changing the boot block program.
If you want to change to an unmapped monitor, I suggest RT11FB
instead of SJ. If you have the unmapped device driver on the system
disk, then the command:
COPY/BOOT SY:RT11FB.SYS SY:
(substitute the actual physical device name like DU0: instead of SY:)
will change the boot program for you. Then you can still boot RT11XM
with the BOOT command.
If you have any other question, please ask.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
