PDP-11/73 booting!

[David Betz]

I can't pull the MXV11 because it has the bootstrap and my console  
port. I did try it without the NS memory board but that didn't work  
either. In fact, RT-11 seems happy with that board as it reports the  
correct total amount of memory (1.5mb). I have the single quad board  
RL01/02 controller.

Here's the result of "SH DEV":

.SH DEV

Device    Status          CSR     Vector(s)
------    ------          ---     ---------

   LD      Installed      000000   000
   SL      Installed      000000   000
   VM      Installed      177572   250
   NL      Installed      000000   000
   DL      Installed      174400   160
