I know nothing about RT-11, let alone fuzzball operation, this is going to be fun!
Abouts 50 of m ran around the globe..
5 or 6 formed the backbone of early nsfnet

What to set cpu in simh? what it looked like.. eg this LSI-11 http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/pic/fuzzballb.jpg
1MB mem in a 85/86 era pdp-11
DEQNA UNIBUS, PROTEON Unibus ethernet cards??
from tcp-ip archive:
- BRL used 2 PDP-11/34's and 1 11/23
- the 256Kb of memory on the full up 18 bit version of the PDP-11's is entirely adequate for an IP gateway.
What disks .. 2 RL02s look cool http://hampage.hu/pdp-11/kepek/1123PLUS.JPG
11/23 had what .. 248k?

The stuff I have is the Fuzzware for the NSFnet backbone, including all sources, binaries and scripts. It's on three RT-11 flopette images now spining on mort. Fuzzballs used the LSI-11/73 with the PDP11/45 memory segmentation hardware, a real-time clock board and any of several kinds of disk drives. Getting that stuff to spin in a simulator would be an interesting exercise.

Welcome to RT-11 V5.3
You have bootstrapped the RT-11 Distribution Disk. Use this disk to
install your RT-11 system, then store it in a safe place.
RT-11 V5.3 provides an automatic installation procedure which will
back up your distribution disk and build a working system disk which
should be used for your work with RT-11.
This working system disk will only contain the RT-11 operating
system. After the RT-11 installation is complete, follow the
installation instructions packaged with any optional languages or
utility software which you will be using.
Press the "RETURN" key when ready to continue.
You can choose to install RT-11 manually. This procedure is
described in the RT-11 Installation Guide.
If you are a new user of RT-11, DIGITAL highly recommends that you
use the automatic installation procedure.
Do you want to use the automatic installation procedure?
(Type YES or NO and press the "RETURN" key): y
You will be guided through the installation process by a series of
instructions and questions; you have an interactive dialog with the
RT-11 installation program. All you need to do is follow the
instructions carefully. When the instructions ask you to mount a
disk in a specified drive, find the disk with the correct label and
mount it in the drive, as shown in your installation booklet.
Do not remove any disk until specifically instructed to do so.
Once a disk is mounted in a drive, it must remain in the drive
until a message appears asking you to remove the disk.
Press the "RETURN" key when ready to continue.
Please enter today's date in the following format:
DD-MMM-YY
where DD is the day of the month
MMM is the first 3 letters in the name of the month
YY is the last two numbers of the year
For example: September 19, 1984 is 19-SEP-84
Type in the date, then press the "RETURN" key.
16-oct-94
A backup copy of the distribution disk will now be built.
Mount a blank disk in DL0 (Drive 0).
See the Automatic Installation Booklet for mounting instructions.
(Remember that the disk is not mounted until you have pressed the LOAD
button and the READY indicator light is on).
Press the "RETURN" key when you have mounted the disk.
Before a blank disk can be used it must be prepared so that the
software can write data to it. This preparation is called initiali-
zation.
The disk in DL0 is now being initialized.
The following procedure should produce informational messages
in the form ?FORMAT-I-Message, or ?DUP-I-Message. No action
is required as a result of these messages. If BAD blocks are
detected, the block number will be provided. This information
should be noted for future reference.
This can take approximately fifteen minutes. Please wait...
?DUP-I-No bad blocks detected DL0:
Now copying the distribution disk from DL1 (Drive 1) to DL0 (Drive 0).
This may take up to five minutes. Please wait...
Your backup copy of the distribution disk is in DL0 (Drive 0).
Please remove this disk from DL0 and label it
"RT-11 V5.3 BIN RL02 BACKUP".
Refer to Appendix B of your installation booklet for instructions
for dismounting a disk.
Press the "RETURN" key when you have removed the disk.
Your working system disk will now be built automatically. This disk
will contain the RT-11 Operating System.
Select a blank disk and label it: "RT-11 V5.3 BIN RL02 WORKING"
and mount it in DL0 (Drive 0).
Press the "RETURN" key when you have mounted the disk.
The disk you mounted in DL0 (Drive 0) is an original distribution
or backup disk.
The next procedure initializes DL0. As a result, any files
that currently reside on DL0 will be permanently lost. If you
would like to retain any files, EXIT from Automatic Installation
Procedure and copy them to another volume.
Do you want to EXIT from Automatic Installation (Y)? n
The disk in DL0 is now being initialized.
The following procedure should produce informational messages
in the form ?FORMAT-I-Message, or ?DUP-I-Message. No action
is required as a result of these messages. If BAD blocks are
detected, the block number will be provided. This information
should be noted for future reference.
This can take approximately fifteen minutes. Please wait...
?DUP-I-No bad blocks detected DL0:
Now copying RT-11 from DL1 (Drive 1) to DL0 (Drive 0).
This can take approximately two minutes. Please wait...
Your working system disk will now be bootstrapped.
Press the "RETURN" key when ready to continue.

RT-11 V5.3
Installation of RT-11 Version 5.3 is complete and you are now
executing from the working volume (provided you have used the
automatic installation procedure). DIGITAL recommends you verify
the correct operation of your system's software using the
verification procedure. To do this, enter the command:
IND VERIFY
Note that VERIFY should be performed only after the distri-
bution media have been backed up. This was accomplished as part
of automatic installation on all RL02, RX02, TK50, and RX50
based systems, including the MicroPDP-11 and the Professional
300. If you have not completed automatic installation, you must
perform a manual backup before using VERIFY. Note also, VERIFY
is NOT supported on RX01 diskettes, DECtape I or II, or the
Professional 325.
DIGITAL also recommends you read the file V5NOTE.TXT, which
contains information formalized too late to be included in the
Release Notes. V5NOTE.TXT can be TYPED or PRINTED.

and we have DSDD images..
Gee, thanks wizz!
AFAICT DEC didn't make 8" DS floppy drives, simh doesn't have one for the emulated PDP-11 and RT-11 V5.3 doesn't like the idea very much either.
Maybe they are not 8" ;)
