 You've aroused my interest with this.  You run *BSD in a PDP-11?  WHich 
 model PDP do you have that does this? 
Five years ago I was running 2.9BSD on an *emulated* PDP-11 on my SPARC1.  I
would refer you to the BSD web pages for a hardware compatibility list, but
for smaller PDP's (11/24, 11/34, etc.), they can run 2.9BSD.  Things like
MSCP (SCSI, SDI, etc.) weren't added until later versions of 2BSD, but to
run _them_, you need an 11/44 or 11/73 or the like.

...
  I have a lead on an 11/73 I can probably get for next
to nothing (with a SCSI
 HD controller!). 
Go join PUPS (The PDP-11 UNIX Preservation Society).  You can get a $100
license for 2BSD and then go get 2.11BSD for your 11/73.
