DEC bootstrap ROMs for the PDP-11s, from the M9301 ROM on, allowed use of a symbolic device name to specify a device to boot from, when using the console emulator function.
These codes included (not all were supported by all ROMs):
| Code | Controller | Device | Description |

Removable cartridge disk |
| DD | DL11 | TU58 | Casette magnetic tape |
| DK | RK11 | RK02-RK03/RK05 | Removable cartridge disk |
| DL | RL11 | RL01/RL02 | Removable cartridge disk |
| DM | RK611 | RK06/RK07 | Removable cartridge disk |
