Well, you were right, sim didn't want to build 64 bit. However, I
already had a working sim, so I simply used the existing pdp11 binary
and your instructions. They worked!
In the process, I figured out that the original approach that I used
worked as well. The issue wasn't with the RP disk, it was with the
singular lack of a Boot prompt '@'. There isn't one. After the simulator
prints 'Disabling XQ', the boot loader is just sitting there waiting for
the user to type 'boot', at which point the loader will print 'Boot'
and
the ':' prompt will appear, allowing the kernel to be specified:
pdp11 tboot.ini

Thanks Hellwig and thanks Cole!

Will,
One note of caution: I did not try to build the whole thing
on a modern 64-bit system; it may well refuse to run. I will
try to bring it up on my 64-bit Linux box and then report
back here, if you are interested.

Hellwig,
Much thanks for the explanation and link. I will try your instructions
and see if they still work. Your notes are exceptionally clear, I
expect if I follow them things, will work as expected. I'll let you know.
Thanks,
Will
