Bill,

Here's the patched boot loader that you need.

The rest is an exercise for the student. :-) Its about the journey, not the
destination, otherwise we would be somewhere else.

I have to say that it took a lot of patience to get 2.11BSD running on my
first PDP-11/73. I think it was about 3 years before I was able to get the
parts together and figure out the method. SIMH didn't have MSCP support and
there was a bug in ra boot loader that took a while to fix.
