Yes you can. Basically you can boot an image and then prepare the volume on the hard drive and copy it over. I have a PDP11 page on my Classiccmp site that walks through it. There’s also a long thread on the VCFE forums about it. classiccmp.org/cini/pdp11.htm

I have a CQD220A and a SCSI hard drive installed and formatted. A serial connection to a Raspberry Pi soon brought up the console on the PDP-11 using TU58FS. Next will be a second serial line to allow TU58 emulation. SFSG What is not clear is if I can get a bootable OS (RT, RSX or whatever) image onto the Hard Drive using TU58FS. Any advice as to if and how this could be done would be greatly appreciated . Rod Smallwood --
