All switches down, turn on machine  (set to 000 000)
RUN/PROC/BUS/CONSOLE lights come one, all other lights off
hit LOAD ADDR
address light 16 comes on, RUN/PROC/BUS/CONSOLE lights stay on.
If I hit START light 16 turns off.
If I try again, to load an address, the address I selected appears, but so
does light 16.

I believe I have seen the explanation for this symptom somewhere, but
reading the 11/40 CPU manual and handbook and I could not find the
explanation.  Does anyone know what this means?

I have been booting directly into the console, lately the system has no
problem loading and running from the console.  Perhaps this huge missed
issue is the root of the problem I have been having get much else done.
