1. That little doc you sent out, Steven, made my day. 2. I got your note on the updates. Thanks again. 3. BSD2.11 is now running fine with a modified kernel. At this point it is my pleasure to give you this Bug Report (or, what do I do now?) a: The Netnix burps at link time. It says: ............. long list of modules...uipc_ustteq.o d.netnix.o Undefined: _arpresolve _arpwhohas _arpinput It continues to build, but does issue a stop 1 (ignored) message. At boot time netnix generates a bad magick number and fails to load. I made the minimum number of modifications to the SYSYTEM file to install the net. Questions: Where do I look for the abovementioned symbols? Do I have to run Netnix to go multi-user? Unrelated questions: Will a DZV-11 (four line mux) work in place of DZ-11? In my experience the Unibus and Q-Buss versions of this board are 100% software compatible, but I'm failing to get a second terminal going... Now, the Real Doozie... I have, to date, been unable to make any of the Games work. The message is always "<name> not found". I tried worm, backgammon, wump, fortune, others from the games directory. Binary dumps show what looks like valid data in these files. Spooky, huh?

In my earlier I asked a question about DZ vs. DZV11 support. I am glad to note that the distributed Kermit works quite happily on /dev/tty0, the first line on the DZV-11.

Edit /etc/ttys, adding if needed a tty00 line. There are numerous examples in the file - it should be pretty easy to figure out what to add or change. Then you need to tell 'init' about the change by doing a "kill -HUP 1". NOTE: ports are NOT bidirectional - if you're going to enable logins on a line you won't be able to kermit _out_. And vice versa, if you're going to kermit out you'll need to disable logins on that line. Yes it'd be nice to have bidirectional ports - but someone keeps stealing my copious supply of free time ;-) Steven Received: from wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com by minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au (8.6.8/8.3) with ESMTP id RAA12884; Mon, 4 Dec 1995 17:03:43 +1100 Received: (from sms@localhost) by wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com (8.6.10/8.6.12) id WAA10542; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:01:18 -0800 Date: Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:01:18 -0800 From: "Steven M.

Hi - You're welcome. I wager you forgot to select the 'NETHER' option in your kernel config file. Setting NETHER to 1 brings in the ARP modules. Hmmm, - the 'netbind' process gives an error about undefined symbols. It sounds like that was ignored. That's the signal not to run the kernel. That's because the netnix image was not successfully loaded - the linker left the header set to something other than a valid a.out header. In your kernel config file make sure that 'NETHER' is set to 1. You could go multi user but you'd likely see a number of errors as programs try to use sockets to communicate. Best to have a valid kernel+netnix image set before going multiuser. It should. Just don't try to use ports 4,5,6, or 7 that a DZ-11\ would have. sigh. Did you put /usr/games into your search path? The games are not in /usr/bin or /usr/ucb with the system programs. Try putting /usr/games in your PATH (or simply typing /usr/games/robots). Good Luck. Steven
