Heh... Maybe not surprising...

Which probably comes as no surprise, as you do not have an RP04/05/06

All good there.

I apologize for my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn but I have
never even seen a real PDP-11 let alone use one. I am just trying to
learn vicariously through simh.
Was that "<http://128.KW>" really printed by the system???
Apart from that, I can't remember that the checkpoint error should
happen. However, you should give a few more switches when you run BRU,
or the system disk will not be setup in a way that will make you happy.
The filesystem used by RSX is called ODS-1, and there is a limit in it
on how many files you can have, which is setup at initialization. The
default values are way to small, especially if you have a large disk.
What should happen then, once you boot the disk for the first time is
that it should actually continue the installation by copying more things
from the tape.
See http://mim.update.uu.se/manuals/rsx/sysgen.pdf for all details
around this.
