Could it still be, like that manual suggests in section 2.2.1 on page
2-5, that it is indeed "BRUSYS Standalone Copy System and Layered
Product Corrections"?
I don't think so. Sounds more like someone did a backup of a just installed/booted
system on tape...
Oh, still haven't had much time to look at Kermit :(
I'm not sure what tape image are you trying to install. Just did a quick test using
this one:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/pdp11/magtape…
which seems to be the same you are using:
$ ./pdp11

RSX-11M/RSX-11M-PLUS STANDALONE COPY SYSTEM V4.8
RSX-11M/RSX-11M-PLUS Standalone Configuration and Disk Sizing Program
Valid switches are:
/CSR=nnnnnn to change the default device CSR
/VEC=nnn to change the default device vector
/FOR=n to change the default magtape formatter number
/DEV to list all default device CSR and vectors
Enter first device: /DEV

I have stopped here, but I have got a baseline system that I should be able to SYSGEN.
The SIMH configuration I have used is quite simple:
$ cat pdp11.ini
set cpu 11/70
set cpu 2M
att rq0 RD54.000
set tm disable
Those are MSCP disks and tapes, visibles from RSX as MU: and DU: The emulated tape drive
is a TK50, and the disk is a RRD54.
