Here is a (the?) boot program for a 750 with ra81 on uda50 running bsd4.1.
It really works, or else I wouldn't be writing this.

David Chase, Rice University
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the boot block program to boot Unix from a UDA device.
Actually, this is a general boot program, and can be used on any 750 with
any devices, given that the appropriate boot ROMs are installed.

It's been tested on UDAs and RK07s, but not yet on a MASSBUS device.

Note that the CSR locations MUST be where the ROMs expect them; usual
configurations have devices at non-standard locations.  (eg, our UDA boot
ROMs expect the CSR at 772150.)  You often must change the hardwired CSR
in sys/stand/uda.c as well, to make it conform.

This program may be freely distributed but the opening comments MUST be left
intact.

/*
 * VAX 11-750 disk boot program to load "/boot" from
 * a UNIX filesystem into low core and to execute that file.
 *
 * This program can only read regular small 10k byte files
 * from the root of a UNIX filesystem. That is to say, it cannot
 * (does not care to) look at indirect blocks. It just loads 
 * the (up to) first 10 blocks addressed by the direct map
 * pointers, and goes from there.
 *
 * If anything goes wrong during the boot, an error code is left in R7.
 * The codes are defined below.

The registers are set by the console subsystem as follows. Those marked with
stars are saved by the driver subroutine. Those marked with a "d" are used
by the driver subroutine, and must contain the indicated values before
calling the driver.

   r0  = type of boot device (see 750 hardware reference, console)
ds r1  = address of the unibus i/o page
ds r2  = boot device CSR address
ds r3  = boot device unit number
 s r4  = 
ds r5  = software boot flags (driver: offset to buffer for read)
 s r6  = driver subroutine address
   r7  = 
d  r8  = LBN of block to read from disk
   r9  = 
 s r10 = 
 s r11 = 
 s ap  = 
   fp  = 
 s sp  = 

Memory is mapped as follows:

0000 to 01ff	Boot block program
0200 to f9ff	Available
fa00 to fdff	Drivers and control routines
fe00 to ffff	Available

The /boot programs are small (size <= 10240 bytes), and are ultimatly loaded
starting at 0000. The UNIX boot block programs all assume this; hence I
shall too. Because of this, the boot block program will have to relocate
itself. Addresses above 27ff are available as scratch. Thus, the final layout
of memory will be:

0000 to 27ff	/boot program
2800 to f8ff	Available for scratch
f900 to f9ff	Stack
fa00 to fdff	Drivers and control routines
fe00 to ffff	Boot block program (relocated)

Upon calling the loaded program (/boot), the registers are expected to
contain the following:

r10 = boot device code (this is different from DEC codes; see table, later)
r11 = software boot flags (from console boot command)
