About QUniLator Installer

QUniLator drives a real UNIBUS or QBUS backplane from a BeagleBone Black, so a
PDP-11 can boot from emulated disks and tapes. This writes its release image to
an SD card: it fetches the release, writes the card, reads back what it wrote,
and can settle the operator identity, host name, ssh keys and network address
on the card before it has ever booted.

Writing a raw disk needs administrator rights, which it asks for as it starts.
