11/04 Project

I am confused by the flow of this thread on my phone but.there are
important things to confirm
1) the console rom does not go in any of the 4 bootstrap slots, these
should be empty for now.  There is a special console rom slot. Please
confirm you have it installed.
2) 164020 should bring up the @ prompt or the 11/04 equiv.  Load thus unto
memory and run from there if you want to load manually
3) the 9312 jumpers (not talking about switches) must be set for an 11/04.
They differ for various machines.  Where did this 9312 come from?
4) confirm you don't have a DC LO AC LO failure.
5) the jumper switches more so pertain to the device bootstrap selection
not the console.  It's confusing because they refer to the console being
on/off in relation to the device to be bootstrapped, ignore all that.
6) possibly the only switch to worry about now is the power on auto jump to
console switch. If that's on when the machine powers up it should cause the
machine to  jump to the console and print a @ prompt to the termunal
assuming everything else is right.
