(That bit is understandable. I must've configured it too big!)

They are diagnostic messages, and many times totally expected and normal. The TT: driver is definitely expected. (I would be very worried if you did not get that one.)
Same with the DRVPAR shrinking. It's a warning that is not important here, as you do not use DRVPAR for dynamic tasks anyway.

The EXCOMn partitions are an 11M thing, but as far as I can remember they are also totally expected.

That is a very weird and unexpected stack pointer. RSX normally have the stack in rather low addresses.

Not sure exactly what you configured, but maybe something wrong in all your answers... :-)

After reboot:

boo [1.54]rsx11m
MCR -- Task not in system
ins $boo
boo [1,54]rsx11,\,\m
[no output]

I seem to be TERRIBLE and SYSGEN.

Well, since the initial boot failed, any subsequent boots of that image I would expect to fail equally bad.
