Question re TM11 boostrap

Several people have asked for a bootstrap for the TM11 magtape. V2.3a
has a simple bootstrap that just reads the first magtape record and
jumps to it.  However, John Holden points out that the M9301 bootstrap
actually skips the first record and reads the second.

Does anyone have source code for an actual TM11 bootstrap?

What do the various versions of UNIX expect in a bootable tape image,
particularly BSD 2.9 and 2.11?

Thanks /Bob Supnik
