Well done,
My 83 has 2 RD54s it is a nice configuration.
As to your other query about the boot loader saying that it is an 83 as opposed to
a 73. The response that you have had is correct AFAIK. My 83 was a 73 before I
changed the processor and I had a similar conversation with Steve Schultz. If it
is a quad board then the boot loader is doing as well as it can :-)
Have fun

Subject: Another happy customer (was Re: [pups] Bootable media for
2.11BSD)
It's amazing what happens when you follow the directions - thanks for your
help, folks. I have 2.11BSD up and running on my 11/73 (booted off the
disk, even), and it's currently untarring the last big chunk of /usr/src.
(The docs mention that TK50s are slower than snot - believe it!) The system
has two RD54s <woohoo!>, but I'm following the 'default' installation
for
now until I have everything running and have successfully rebuilt the
kernel; then I'll probably move /usr and /tmp over to the second RD. I also
need to dig into the machine a bit more - the bootloader tells me I have an
11/83, so I'm suspecting the CPU was changed at some point.
For the record, I live in Seattle, and I can now produce bootable TK50s with
2.11BSD. :-)

Yup, that's what I get for trying to be clever.
:-) I built and ran
maketape, and the 11/73 likes the resulting tape (boots). So I'm remaking
the tape with the tar's on it (per the instructions).
I also happened to look at my work email, and saw the recent thread on
this
same subject - doh!
Maybe we should add something to the /2.11BSD distribution README with the
caveats we've learned? -- Ian
