Truly wonderful stuff -thank you for putting it together!
It took me a bit to puzzle out what to type, mostly because I'm
unfamiliar with gxemul. What finally did the trick for me (on NetBSD
9.1) was:
gxemul -X -e 3max -db:./bsd44f-pmax-self-20210224.dkimg -j vmunix
Now I just need to figure out how to get things in and out of there!
Thank you so, so much!

I compiled 4.4BSD to get pmax and sparc binary, from
CSRG Archive CD-ROM #4

pmax:
- Works on GXemul DECstaion(PMAX) emulation.
- I used binutils 2.6 and gcc 2.7.2.3 taken from Gnu ftp site,
as 4.4BSD src does not contain pmax support part in as, ld,
gcc and gdb.
- Lack of GDB. I got rid of compile errors of gdb 4.16, but that
does not work yet.
- gcc included can not deal c++ static constructor. So, contrib/groff
can not be compiled. Instead, it uses old/{nroff,troff,eqn,tbl..}.
sparc:
- Works on sun4c. I use on SPARCstation 2, real hardware.
TME sun4c emulation can boot to single user, but it locks up in
middle of /etc/rc.
CSRG Archive CD-ROM #4's source code (just after Lite2 release) seems
have differences from CSRG's binary distributions before (2 times),
e.g. mount systemcall is not compatible.
I used NetBSD 1.0/sparc, NetBSD 1.1/pmax for 1st (slightly) cross
compiling. NetBSD 1.0/sparc boots and works well on TME emulator.
SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris7 works too, but this 4.4BSD binary doesn't..
