It correctly writes the RF11 image (as best as I can
tell), then reads
/etc/init into the user area and executes it. I left the TC11 disabled
on my run and it panics when /etc/init tries to read the tape.
*nod* we're running up to init in the cold boot kernel and getting
into the code that reads the 65th block off the tape. At this
point we only get 1 byte of data into the read buffer, though.
(not sure if this is due to simh, the kernel or some other issue).
to work around the asembler divide issue I had to sed the source
during build time. These hacks are all incorporated into the
tools/assemv7 script.
it might be fun to try to use Warren's mkfs.c program to preload
the root disk and boot warm with it.
