Matt, maybe you can help me here.  According to your boot messages, you've
obviously got an M7135-YA datapath module (with D_float) support.  I've
found a source of M7135 modules, but they say they don't have any -YA
ones.  I was wondering if you could take a look at your M7135 board to see
if the metal Q-bus module "grips" are actually stamped with M7135-YA or
just plain M7135?

I'm hoping that perhaps DEC was slack in their identification of the
boards and that I may actually have or be able to find a D_float board.

I'm still working on getting bootblocks to the CPU.  I've got a couple of
options, but I've not yet had the time to juggle system components around.
