Where did you get this 11/53 ?
There are some versions (EPROMs) which are decserver versions.
So you don't get anything on the screen until you go to the debug/configuration mode
(try some of the modi on the bulkhead)
And, another one: try an <ctrl> <c>, or <ctrl> <p>.
If you got the "normal" version of the 11/53, it stops looking for the boot device
and is talking to you.
