I see that a couple say "is not a system disk”, and the rest say “IS_KEY_DISK”, so I’m wondering if any are bootable, even though it seems like I should be using InfoServer/VMS V3.5 (ag-r7lfa-bs.img), which says, "IS_V35          is not a system disk”.

The target disk must be DKA100 and you need to set the boot flags to
D0000000 so that it boots from the [SYSD] system root.
