[Simh] Installing VMS from backup sets

[Robert G. Schaffrath]

I have a V5.5-2 system that I loaded from backup tape.  To restore my 
savesets, I purchased a copy of the VMS V7.2 hobbyist CDROM and built a 
V7.2 system.  Once I got that up and running, I mounted a blank disk, my 
V5.5-2 backup saveset and restored it to the blank disk.  I then booted 
my restored V5.5-2 and it came up with few problems (missing devices was 
biggest problem).
