I can boot into what appears to be a workable system,

networking and a larger hard drive. Can somebody help me out with getting
this set up? If anybody else out there has done the same thing, I'd like to
hear exactly what you did.
Thank you very much
For networking, you need to:
compile simh with networking support
edit 211bsd.simh to
attach to the correct network device
use the hardware address that you want
Inside the system, you will need to edit /etc/hosts and /etc/netstart
to configure your hostname and networking options.
Reboot
As for getting a bigger disk, you've got two options. Reinstall on a
larger disk image, or just mount a larger disk image onto the file system.
To reinstall, read the directions in README.networked.211BSD and
docs/2.11bsd_setup.txt . If you do a fresh reinstall, you will need to
recompile the kernel (as described in docs/2.11bsd_setup.txt) to get
networking support.
Or you can create a second, larger, disk image with dd, attach it, and
label, format, and mount it from within the emulator.
Best of luck,
Andru
