*cough*

Disk1 has a /kernel && a /boot, but /boot only has:

mathom.nas.nasa.gov > ls boot
TRANS.TBL       cdboot*         loader*         loader.rc

The fixit CDROM (disk2) has the full complement of /boot, including defaults
and Forth code, etc.

It seems a quick and cheap thing to try is to put the full /boot complement
into disk1's /boot.
