Booting A PDP-11/23

I recently found a PDP-11/23 (Model 11C23-FE) at Goodwill. It is in a tall
slim tower style enclosure, has a dual 5.25" floppy disk drive, a hard disk,
and 1024KB. It passes the memory test, and trys to boot from "DU0". The
light on the hard disk comes on for a few seconds, and then I get the
message

ERROR UNIT DU0
ERR 13 DRIVE NOT READY
WISH TO REBOOT [Y,(N)]?

So is something broken, or am I just doing something wrong? Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Owen
