This is the ODT Prompt. Unfortunately I have never found a good
documentation about ODT commands. Maybe someone else can help with this?

What CPU card do you have? There is a /73 CPU card, M8192 IIRC, that has
no ROM. If you have a M8190 (?) it has ROMs. You should be able to set
some jumper on that card so that the CPU jumps into the ROM on reset /
power up.

What disk controller do you have for the Eagle?

I have two minicom scripts that load a MSCP resp. TMSCP bootstrap into
memory. I used them to install / load 2.11BSD UNIX on my /73. Depending
on your disk and tape controller, the controller may have it's own boot
ROM.
