[Unix-jun72] ... in case you wanted to play along.

Here's the current status on how to use the files: - svn to the latest version - install v7 binaries somewhere (ie /tmp/v7) - install apout somewhere (ie /tmp/apout2.3alpha2) - update paths in tools/assemv7 - compile tools/ml.c into tools/ml - build simh's pdp11 emulator using brad's patches at http://www.unlambda.com/download/pdp11/unix-jun72/KE.diff install into tools/pdp11 - run ./tools/assemv7 to make files in build/* - run ./simh.cfg to run the emulator - type "go" to start it - type "go" at the first halt to continue writing over your rf0 disk - after waiting for a while, type control-e and then "det rf" and then "quit" - you should now have some data written over your rf0.dsk image. Next steps: - continue debugging the cold boot process. This should eventually let us install a full root disk image from the kernel and a tape construct with 1972_stuff s2 /bin and /etc files. - get a working mkfs and use it to build and populate the rk03 disk with the 1972_stuff s2 /usr files. - continue debugging the kernel to boot the rf0 disk and mount the rk03 disk on /usr.
