[Simh] RT-11 bootable tape

Hi all,

Trying to get an actual scsi tape running on a CQD220A on real iron(tm),
but I'm still trying to figure things out. I was originally using
Ersatz-11, but I though I'd give it a go on SimH.

When booted from a bootable simulated TK50(tk50.tap), it consistently halts
on trying to run MDUP.Mx to further the "installation" of RT-11 from said
tape.

Following a transcript:

PDP-11 simulator V3.9-0

sim> att tq0 tk50.tap
TQ: creating new file
sim> b rl

RT-11FB  V05.06

.TYPE V5USER.TXT

                                   RT-11 V5.6

    Installation  of  RT-11  Version  5.6 is complete and you are now
running
    RT-11 from your system volume.
