I see you've found a somewhat-common chicken-and-the-egg problem while
trying to load 2BSD on your box. Have you examined "vttape"? It's
a virtual tape program that lets you force-feed a PDP-11 via a PeeCee
over the console port.
I haven't used it, but from what other people say about it, it's probably
the least-additional-hardware-intensive way to go.
