[Simh] RT-11 bootable tape

[Shoppa, Tim]

It has been many years but I think there was a problem with the tape boot blocks in 5.6 that was fixed in 5.7.

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:

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.
