The first thing I would do is check the contents of 1000-1116 after the halt 
occurs
against the what you have in the eeprom.

1120 is not a location I would expect this to halt, so either there is a 
problem in
loading the the eeprom bootstrap or perhaps the first records of the tape are 
being loaded.
Do you see any tape motion?

For RT-11, you need to load device specific files at the beginning of the tape.
The tape primary and secondary bootstrap which load the monitor, need to be 
first.
The following (rough) example is for  MS:  @1600BPI and the RT11SJ monitor.

   Ini/Que/Vol/File:MBOT16.BOT MS: 
   Cop MSBOOT.BOT MS:/Pos:-1    
   Cop MDUP.MS    MS:/Pos:-1
   Cop SWAP.SYS   MS:/Pos:-1
   Cop RT11SJ.SYS MS:/Pos:-1
   Cop MS.SYS     MS:/Pos:-1
   Cop DU.SYS     MS:/Pos:-1
   Cop MDUP.SAV   MS:/Pos:-1
   Cop PIP.SAV    MS:/Pos:-1
   Cop DUP.SAV    MS:/Pos:-1

… + other OS files.
