Well, I started an answer, and decided that Steven would be able to answer better, but since you mention my name, OK, here I am. One point: First, the compiler is certainly not gcc. That would never fit in the address space of a PDP-11. Secondly, I'd guess it's the emulator. I don't think many people have tried 2.11BSD on the Supnik emulator. I'm using the Begemot emulator (Emulators/P11-2.3 in the archive). I get: [5] root--> cd /usr/src/sys/GRANDPA/ [6] root--> ./checksys unix System will occupy 295600 bytes of memory (including buffers and clists). end {0122636} nbuf {0013562} buf {0053542} nproc {0013550} proc {0077060} ntext {0013552} text {0121416} nfile {0013556} file {0115726} ninode {0013554} inode {0013646} ncallout {0013560} callout {0044274} ucb_clist {0013566} nclist {0013564} ram_size {0000000} xitdesc {0013644} quotdesc {0000000} namecache {0053150} _iosize {0000000} [7] root--> I won't pretend that the documentation of the interpreter is ideal, nor that it's easy to set up. It took me quite a while. Take a look at the files in ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/pups.

Note that what you get when you run the emulator is just the diagnostic console; to actually use the machine, you need to telnet to ports 10000 to 10003. Anybody interested in so doing can telnet to pdp11.lemis.com and log in as guest, password "Today only". Don't break anything, please--I haven't checked security too much.

It is hard to believe a 25K kernel....(:+}}..... so much for code bloat over the years. My goal is to try to bring it up on a KSR35 hooked up to a headless pc (386 board in a closet box) on the dos emulator, or whatever would be the minimal required to get it going. Can anyone suggest ways to reach that goal? I am still having no luck with the Ersatz 2.0 emulator on dos, because I can't seem to get the incantations right. I get to the @ prompt, but after entering unix, it just sits for a bit, the HD spins, and after a few seconds it is back at the @ prompt. There is still some magick mystical juju required (albeit I am the dummy here....(:+\\.....) I could port a stripped Linux 0.98 kernel maybe, to get it up, and try that, but I was hoping the dos emulator would run with it. Any suggestions and pointers are appreciated. Thanks, and kudos to all the PUPS crew and Dennis Ritchie for resurrecting the old v5 image. This kindof makes computing fun, for a change..... Now, where did I stash that KSR35..... Bob Keys.....
