I misread David's post the first time. I thought he was thinking of doing
an installation on simh (using a bootable tape image) and then dd'ing the
disk image onto a SCSI disk to boot the real PDP-11 from. Is there any
reason this wouldn't work?

That's
not a bad idea. Perhaps I should just make a minimal
bootable image using simh or such, dd it to a SCSI disk, and then
attach that to my 11/73. Might be easier than endless futzing with the
TK50.
Don't. The moment you copy a tape file to disk, you will loose meta
information unless you use a program specifically designed to preserve
that information.
