Installing 2.11BSD on the PDP11 emulator p11 on FreeBSD ======================================================= This relates to FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p3 (the most current 4.7 RELEASE as on Jan. 19, 2003). You'll need Harti Brandt's PDP11 emulator. I used the latest non-beta release p11-2.9 dated Mar. 1st, 2001. To build p11, libbegemot is needed too (libbegemot-1.9 dated Mar. 1st, 2001). Both are available at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/cats/usr/harti/p11. 116847 Mar 1 2001 libbegemot-1.9.tar.gz 298755 Mar 1 2001 p11-2.9.tar.gz MD5 (libbegemot-1.9.tar.gz) = 92bc75e99c5bc778f59adf412ea085ea MD5 (p11-2.9.tar.gz) = ffabf9752895d34396b2d5b38947c8dc (My decision to use p11 was based on the fact, that it's much less cpu hungry than Bob Supnik's sim package). The 2.11BSD distribution I use is 2.11_rp_unknown.gz from http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Boot_Images. 34600118 Feb 1 1998 2.11_rp_unknown.gz MD5 (2.11_rp_unknown.gz) = d57863a498edc4598da84eb5bc88b3a2 After downloading you'll want to build libbegemot and p11. Both is painless. Building libbegemot ------------------- cd work tar xvzf ../libbegemot-1.9.tar.gz find libbegemot-1.9 | xargs chown user.group (May be omitted, but on my system file ownership was messed up). cd libbegemot-1.9 ./configure gmake gmake install Building p11 ------------ cd work tar xvzf ../p11-2.9.tar.gz find p11-2.9 | xargs chown user.group (May be omitted, but on my system file ownership was messed up). cd p11-2.9 ./configure --with-begemot=/usr/local gmake gmake install Configuring p11 --------------- The config file is in /usr/local/share/p11/p11conf. Minimal changes are required: Check for "define diskdir /home/private/p11/disks" and change according to your setup. I gunzip'ed 2.11_rp_unknown.gz to /var/tmp/disks/RP_211bsd_root to maintain the file naming of Harti. Beware, it expands to 174 MB. I also changed the sync time for the emulated rp disk from 600000 to 4000 (as indicated in the docu- mentation of p11.texi). That is "ctrl rp 17776700 0254 5 4000" instead of the original "ctrl rp 17776700 0254 5 600000". (I changed the deqna's network driver from tun0 to tun3 too, as I'm using tun0 for dialup pur- poses). Last, I commented out the Linux tun and tap as well as the FreeBSD tap networking entries.
