This is the result of the quickest/easiest install from following the YouTube video. Which didn’t work the first time. See below for the reason.

RT-11 V5.3
Installation of RT-11 Version 5.3 is complete and you are now
executing from the working volume (provided you have used the
automatic installation procedure). DIGITAL recommends you verify
the correct operation of your system's software using the
verification procedure. To do this, enter the command:
IND VERIFY
Note that VERIFY should be performed only after the distri-
bution media have been backed up. This was accomplished as part
of automatic installation on all RL02, RX02, TK50, and RX50
based systems, including the MicroPDP-11 and the Professional
300. If you have not completed automatic installation, you must
perform a manual backup before using VERIFY. Note also, VERIFY
is NOT supported on RX01 diskettes, DECtape I or II, or the
Professional 325.
DIGITAL also recommends you read the file V5NOTE.TXT, which
contains information formalized too late to be included in the
Release Notes. V5NOTE.TXT can be TYPED or PRINTED.

If I substitute the “New-rt11lang.rl02” in the boot.ini, it comes up and I don’t get the “dir dl1:” error. Perhaps it’s a Open Simh thing?
