- Dir : boot
-
- The Boot system
-
- The files in this directory work in conjunction with a switch box
- that either put in communication :
- 1) vax - terminal
- 2) lsi - terminal
- 3) vax - lsi, echo of the lsi on the terminal
-
- The code in boot.s is patched in high memory via odt commands issued by the
- sequence of echos in boot. Then the bootstrap is run and fills the memory
- reading bytes through the serial line. If chks ok, starts the program at
- '2000'. If the code in boot.s is changed, mkboot generates a new boot
- file. The program mkabo is a utility program that use a symbol stripped
- a.out file from the ld11 loader and make it down loadable. The shell file
- 'dl' schedules the downloading procedure. If the code in the lsi11
- crashes, restart by odt : '2000G'.

- Things in old directory work with a lsi11/03 and not a lsi11/23
