Hi there,
I have my PDP11/40 connected to a MicroVAX 2 (running NetBSD/vax
1.5.2) via serial line and want to boot a 2.9BSD or 2.11BSD using the
vtserver software.
When I toggle in vtserver's boot code, the first file is being loaded
correctly by the PDP. Then, following the instructions in vtserver
documentation, the serial line should be used as a serial console - and
some text should appear! And this is the problem: I don't get any output.
Aha! So the first file gets transferred correctly?
Then your problem is totally withing that transferred file. My guess is
that it don't know your hardware well enough.
Does your machine have EIS? Does the code expect EIS to exist? How about
22-bit mode? I/D space?
FP perhaps?
There are a lot of potential problems...
When manually sending characters from the PDP, there
is no problem.
So? If you even manage to get the first file accress, the problem isn't
anything with your communication link.
