THANKS!
The problem was my Kermit transfer. I had to do a SET FILE
TYPE FIXED (creates 512-byte records) rather than a SET FILE TYPE
BINARY. My version of Kermit doesn't support SET FILE TYPE IMAGE.
I was able to create a bootable tape and I tried booting it
to an Nboot prompt. That's all I have time for tonight.
Thanks for your help!
