What's your I/O configuration?  The current version of SIMH only has one 
TTY device available, but you've listed two different ones above (addresses 
11 and 12).

I get a bit farther than that:

  HELLO-ROOT
  NAME-I.D.BILL-0
  CHAN: 1 ACCOUNT 0
  TIME ON:  1212  12/ 12/ 78

...and then things seem to quit talking.

It's mentioned in the LOCUS catalog at Bitsavers:

  /hp/21xx/locus/22000-90099_LOCUS_catalog_mar77.pdf

...on page 2-86.  It says that the system requires "an HP2116B computer 
with 16K, two to five teleprinters with interface, and time base 
generator."  So I'm not sure that it'll run on a system with one TTY.
