I hope someone comes up with either a set of instructions for generating

a typical disk-based BOS/360 system,

or a turnkey system that is ready-to-run, with at least COBOL installed.

I don't have any prior BOS/360 experience.

Please check out my You Tube channel: ==> dosvsoperator!!!

Back in those days, Disks were extremely expensive.? BOS, (Basic
Operating System) was designed to run in an extremely small memory
size.? It did not use disk or tape.

DOS/360 and TOS/360 are interrelated, as they are where DOS 34 came
from.? However, BPS and BOS were separate developments.? I know
DOS/360 and TOS/360 were developed in Germany, while I think the
others came from somewhere else.

P.S. I own a z/VSE software company and have been working with VSE
since 1985 (DOS/VS 1.3.5).
