I am now dangerously close to getting 2.11BSD on my 11/44. ^_^ I got a SCSI disk controller (Viking UDT) and TS11 tapes, and 16 ports of DZ11s (Anyone got jumper/DIP switch info on these?), but my problem is lack of a boot tape. Anyway, since I have other machines around which can grok SCSI disks, I tried making an RP06 image on Supnik's emulator, installing the rauboot instead of hkuboot, but it failed. The PDP-11 read the bootstrap in OK and the bootstrap was running but it was looping (I forgot the address). Has anyone done this before? I would use a SCSI tape to boot from but the SCSI tape drive I have died. (Roached literally - one of the little fsckers got inside it and got fried.) ------- Received: (from major@localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) id GAA39579 for pups-liszt; Sun, 28 Nov 1999 06:14:13 +1100 (EST) Received: from timaxp.trailing-edge.com (timaxp.trailing-edge.com [63.73.218.130]) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id GAA39566 for <PUPS(a)MINNIE.CS.ADFA.OZ.AU>; Sun, 28 Nov 1999 06:14:03 +1100 (EST) Received: by timaxp.trailing-edge.com for PUPS(a)MINNIE.CS.ADFA.OZ.AU; Sat, 27 Nov 1999 14:13:59 -0500 Date: Sat, 27 Nov 1999 14:13:59 -0500 From: Tim Shoppa <SHOPPA(a)trailing-edge.com> To: PUPS(a)MINNIE.CS.ADFA.OZ.AU Message-Id: <991127141359.20a000ba(a)trailing-edge.com> Subject: Re: 2.11BSD Sender: owner-pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Precedence: bulk Are you sure it was a RP06 image? hkuboot is the RK06/07 bootstrap. How did you move the RP06 (or RK06) image to the physical SCSI drive? You were asking about doing it with RT-11 a few weeks ago, but you *do* know that RT-11 won't conventionally access the 65536th (and 2*65536th, and 3*65536th...) blocks on a MSCP partition, don't you? (There is a way of accessing that last block, but you have to code it with a .SPFUN call to the DU driver, and none of the distributed RT-11 utilities work on that last block, even with the /DEVICE qualifier.) Did the version of 2.11BSD you're working from have disklabel support in the hk driver? Disklabel support there was added recently (where "recent" = 2 years ago). Get us the address (HALT the 11/44, either with the front panel toggle or control-P from the console) and we'll find out why it's looping. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927 Received: (from major@localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) id GAA39623 for pups-liszt; Sun, 28 Nov 1999 06:21:02 +1100 (EST)
