PDP-11 bootstraps

Disk 0

I know the octal data is correct, but I'm not sure about the mnemonics and the description.

Address	Data	Mnemonic	Description
1000	012700	MOV #177406,R0	Move the top of the address of the controller into r0
1002	177406		(constant)
1004	012710	MOV #177400,(R0)	Move 177400 into 177406
1006	177400		(constant)
1010	012740	MOV #5,-(r0)	Move 5 into 177404
1012	000005		(constant)
1014	105710	TSTB (R0)	Test byte at 177404
1016	100376	BPL 1014	Jump backward if positive
1020	005007	CLR PC	Jump to zero

Disk n

This bootstrap will boot from any disk in a daisy-chained multi-drive configuration. Memory location octal 1006 contains the unit number, as follows:

Address	Data	Mnemonic	Description
1000	012700	MOV #177406, R0	Store the address of the Word Count register in r0
1002	177406	(constant)	(Which is 177406)
1004	012760	MOV xxxxxx, 000004(R0)	Store the disk ID number in the Disk Address register
1006	xxxxxx	(disk ID number)	The disk number goes here.
1010	000004	(index)
1012	012700	MOV #177406, R0	Store the addresss of the Word Count register in r0
1014	177406	(constant)	(Which is 177406)
1016	012710	MOV #177400, (R0)	Store 177400 into the Word Count register,
1020	177400	(constant)	meaning that octal 400 words are to be read.
1022	012740	MOV #000005, -(R0)	Store 5 into the Control Status register
1024	000005	(constant)	selecting the function "read" with 4, and "go" with 1
1026	105710	TSTB (R0)	Test the Control Status Register (upper) byte
1030	100376	BPL *-1	Repeat if it's positive, that is Control Ready is cleared
1032	005007	CLR PC	If not, clear the Program Counter (essentially, jump to 0)

Value	Unit
020000	Unit 1
040000	Unit 2
060000	Unit 3
100000	Unit 4
120000	Unit 5
140000	Unit 6
160000	Unit 7
