No other removable media... but I am thinking it may be possible to install a DEC o/s using a pdp-11 emulator (with any emulated removable media which may be necessary) but making the emulator access the real pdp-11's MFM disk during install - I do have a MFM controller for a PC.
That's generally not possible. MFM controllers are very specific about the way data is laid down on the drives - when the controller in my 11/73 died I needed to low-level format the drives before I could use them again. Backups are Good Things.
You all may be looking forward to telnetting into a real pdp-11 when I manage to do that.
I had that running for a while, but the heat, noise and electricity bill got a bit much. Now we're into the colder weather though...
