Looks to me that you have the wrong /dd descriptor in your boot file. If 
you want to boot from the hard drive, /dd must be a hard drive 
descriptor. You chose an 80 track floppy for /dd.

RB1773 will not be used at all when booting from a hard drive so if 
rb1773 is buggy, it won't matter during the boot process.
