Micro 11/73

Found a really nice PDP "Micro" 11/73 at the scrap yard today. I don't know
the designations but it's in a rack mount box 5" high and 24" deep. I don't
usually bother with DEC stuff but, it was real clean and the price was
right.

The system has a hard drive, dual floppies, and 4 serial ports (plus
console) on the rear panel. I hooked up a terminal and am able to talk to
the system. However, when it tries to boot but gives a message:

"DEVICE TT001: Not in configuration"
"RSX 11M V 4.1 BL35E 1024K mapped"

It stops at that point and won't go any further. I can ^C and get a "MCR>
prompt" and talk to the system but it won't *do* anything.

Am I doing something wrong or is this the expected behavior when the OS is
broken?

Thanks,
SteveRob
