Ray,
Great idea! I'll offer help on the subject of RSTS-11 and RSTS/E.
Come to think of it, I need to gather up some notes about some work I've done
on old versions: (1) building RSTS-11 V4A from a kit (tricky, because it really
wants to be done with DOS 4 and not later versions, and DOS 4

4.3BSD has its partition tables compiled into the driver. You can
generate the C code for the disk drivers using diskpart based on disktab.
Note that you must use the same entry in the device driver that you
later use for newfs (which reads the disk partition stuff from disktab).

I added the partition info for ra82 to /etc/disktab and indicate ra82

What are the steps for adding storage to a SIMH vax (vax750, to be
specific) running 4.3BSD? I created disk image files on the host OS of
the proper size (for RA82s) and attached them through the .ini file.
However, they don't have partition tables and this version of BSD
