PDP-11/05 with RX02 :-(

I can't find my book on the M8256 (RX211) so I don't know if the switches
are set right.

I have a PDP-11/05 here that works fine and boots up RT11 or XXDP on an RX01
with an RX11. When I replace the RX01 system with an RX211 and an RX02 and
try and boot RT11 the CPU hangs up at:

173546 , run light on. Requires a full reset to clear.

I have tried other RX211s, RX02s, and cables and the same problem occurs.

The disk is being accessed for a little while (4 or 5 "clicks") and dies....

If anyone here has a quick "config" fix I would appreciate it otherwise I
guess I will dive into the boxes of manuals/fiche later today.

Current 11/05 config:

Main CPU
M9312 w DY rom
RX211 with RX02
8K core
ODT and passes diagnostics.
