Hello again -
From: Christian Groessler <cpg(a)aladdin.de>
It would be easy enough to do - or perhaps a critical one was
left out. Filesystems without device nodes can be moved
with a 'tar' pipeline but the root filesystem is special.
Mmmm, I wonder if the problems you were having
were caused by
/dev not being correctly populated.
Maybe. I noticed they're missing and recreated them by hand. Perhaps I
made a mistake there. It's a problem of the p11 emulator I use. I got a
patch off-list which
fixed it. It was some signed/unsigned thing.
Ah ha!
Regarding the patchlevels, how do I find out which
patchlevel my
system is at?
Look at the /VERSION file. The first or second line will have
the patchlevel. That file's updated by each patch.
Cheers,
Steven

New subject: [pups] missing space in 2.11_rp_unknown
FYI, here's the patch that fixes the "df" problem that Christian
reported.
If I recall correctly, it took me about a day to figure out that the
problem wasn't in df, wasn't in the 2.11 BSD C library, but was in the p11
emulator. The fact that the same disk image booted by Bob Supnik's SIMH
PDP/11 emulator produced correct "df" results was the big clue. Here's
the
fix for p11 (version 2.7).
