Problem Booting System 5 on 11/70

I am posting this for a compatriot:

He has an 11/70 with a western peripherals controller which emulates an
rm05. When he attempts to boot he gets a trap 0. This controller-disk
combination works perfectly using RST/S but somehow system 5 seems to
have problems. He has ordered 2.9bsd (should he wait for that?). A Bell
software engineer suggested that the bsd driver might work where the
system 5 driver doesn't because the Berkeley drivers are more loosely
written (more forgiving?). Anyway, the abovementioned friend does not
have a source license for system 5 and is unable to look at the driver
and check against the way his controller is emulating the rm05.

Any help, leads etc. would be very much appreciated
