[HECnet] DECnet-RT?

[Peter Allan]

Thanks to Ray, I now have the v1 and v5 of the RT-11 CD (well, the ISO file
of it). However, I am confused by the nature of the virtual CD.

I have extracted the file RTV5RL.03 and started an installation using it. I
have not continued with the installation, but it looks like it should
work.So far,so good.

However, the file README.1st refers to there being several RT11
partitions on the CD and that  some of these are bootable. I have never
come across multiple partitions on a CD and I don't know how to access
them. The SIMH ATTACH command appears to only connect to files, not
partitions on a disk.

So I am stuck. Any suggestions?
