Or you could grab the pre-genned V6C kit from:

I tried booting that, and it does boot, but the startup does not run. No system
initialization is performed and I login as job 1 with no CCL's defined. The
version at https://skn.noip.me/pdp11/rk2.dsk does boot and has all commands
installed.
Looking at both environments there are two things I noticed as different from
the V06C-03 I was using in high school back in 1978. On our system we had
control-T available that was enabled and disabled along with control-R. ...
I have to wonder if we were running a version of V06C-03 with those additional
enhancements. It definitely was not 7.0. I graduated in June 1980 and I was
told they upgraded to 7.0 that summer.
Control/T support was an optional feature, enabled during SYSGEN, for some
time. I'm fairly sure it was never an undocumented feature, but it wasn't
standard originally.

I also am not sure if the "chasing snakes" code LIGHTS.OBJ was included in
the V6 distributions or not (I haven't checked). I know we always genned
that in our V8 machines and it was pulled from the V9 distributions.
