	Has anyone been able to install Sys V.2.2 on a VAX 11/780 without
having an RP06, RM05, RM80, or an RP07 at NEXUS 8 (MBA 0) ?  I have an RM03
there, and the UNIX tape boot loader will not let you install the tapes
without one of the above-mentioned disk drives where they want it!  AT&T will
not return my phone calls.  The only other disk drives I have are on MBA 2
and are CDC 9766 drives on an SI controller (similar to RM05's).  Of course,
I don't know whether the SI controller would get in the way if I tried to
install onto a 9766, but that doesn't even matter since the disk drive has to
be at NEXUS 8.  I don't want to try to put the SI controller on MBA 0 since
(1) I don't know whether the tape boot loader would work even after I did that;
(2) We use the VAX to run 4.1 BSD when we're not struggling late at night to
    bring up things like Sys V.  The 4.1 BSD system likes everything just where
    it is.

    Ideas, suggestions?
