Hello from Gregg C Levine
I've been trying to get that notion to work, since it was announced.
Can you post an explanation, regarding how you constructed your 2.11
setup? Was it built from disk dumps, or from one of the previously
built, and stored collections, on the Minnie, file server?
I used the files from PDP-11/Distributions/ucb/2.11BSD/ in the collection
and built a tape image using a short perl script which I attached as
"mktap.pl". I got the file format from the comments in the "mtdump"
program from the "simtools.zip" archive (on simh.trailing-edge.com) and
how to put the files onto the tape from the HOWTO file in the 2.11BSD
directory. From there I pretty much just followed the HOWTO.
The system is mostly functional. fsck still complains about a file that
it creates. I stuck it all in one 128 meg file system, so I'm thinking of
making another disk and file system just to stick the fsck temporary file
on during boot.
Also, a
posting of the startup script would be nice, along with what you are
running this on. That way, we can possibly reproduce your problems for
ourselves. Especially since this is one of my personal projects. And
most importantly of all, what was the date on your simh download?
I'm running it on a Linux 2.2 box. My ethernet card is a 3c905B in case
it matters. I have attached my startup file as "simh".
I am using simhv210-1.zip, which as I write this is still the latest one
on the site.
Any ideas to try? Hve you had any luck?
