Ah, with a quick looks I see 2 differences: you use a different tape
device (I used ms1: -- I had the 2 tapes mounted at the same time), and
you specify csr and vector numbers. I'll try later which of the two
makes the difference.
Part of my config:
attach tm0 BB-J0830-01.M01_RSX11M+_V4.6_1999.tap
This would be the full system.
attach tm1 BB-J0830-01.L01_RSX11M+_V4.6_BRU_1999.tap
This is slightly weird, as the normal RSX distribution of V4.6 is just
one tape that holds both BRUSYS and the distribution.
and I found some logs of what happened for me before
(with a bit of cut and paste to insert a recent output of /dev).

Valid switches are:
/CSR=nnnnnn to change the default device CSR
/VEC=nnn to change the default device vector
/FOR=n to change the default magtape formatter number
/DEV to list all default device CSR and vectors
Enter first device: /dev

BRU - Mount Tape 1 on MS1:
Try MS0: instead. That would, I suspect, work fine, since that tapes
contains both the BRUSYS system (which you booted), and the full
distribution after.
The BRU tape, which was separate in older systems, held only the BRUSYS
image, which you booted. And then you needed to switch tapes to the
distribution tape, to restore from.
The taped named _BRU would not be holding the actual distribution, but
only the BRUSYS image.
