From: Dave Clemans <dgc at SDC-NET>
It probably should be explicitly stated in the documentation that the
RL01/RL02 bootstrap does NOT look at the switch register (and if non-zero,
read a pathname from the console), while most of the other bootstraps do.

The 2.8 tape that we got did not have an RM02/RM03 first level bootstrap;
but by changing the 19 to 5, etc. in the RM05 boot you do get a working
RM02/RM03 boot.

The xp.c driver works for the new System Industries 6100 controller board
(with the proviso that the previously given out fix to not depend on PIP
as a ready bit is applied).  The BEP chip on the 6100 is working quite
nicely; we're running it with a Fujitsu 160MB drive, and we are not
seeing any ECC errors, even on the sectors that Fujitsu marked uncorrectable.
(Both under UNIX and the System Industries diagnostics).
