Well, I made it thru.  Haven't tried moving it to a real PDP-11
yet but will try this weekend.  Not sure what the patches that
didn't work actually do, so9 I hope it's nothing that will bite
me later.  Still need to config and build a real kernel as I am
still using the GENERIC but I will likely let that wait until I
have it on the real PDP-11 where it will be running so that I can
match the kernel to the hardware.

Now I need a program that can move Tape data back and forth between
real drives and tap/tpc images.  Anybody got one?

Also want to look at building the tools to do Ultrix-11 installs
from VTServer as the number of real tape drives is rapidly decreasing.

Hoping that 2.11 BSD will make a nice platform for doing a lot of this.
