I've been trying, in the past month, to bring up 2.8 BSD on an
LSI-11/23 system. My main difficulty had been
1. We do not have any tape units connected specifically to the LSI
2. We do not have any of the boot devices. Instead we have a
Shugart SA-1004 ( 8 Mbyte formatted Wincheter disk ).
However, we have gotten quite far regenerating the bulk of the kernel
on a VAX using 11-compatibility mode. Basically, we're now stuck with the
funny magic numbers ( f2 in ?map, etc.) alluded to in kernel/sys/40SYS.
Would appreciate any information from the group, particularly those with
similar experiences.
Thus far, we have managed to generate a verrion 7 file system on the
Shugart drive, and have restored the small root existing the 2.8 tape. Our
last hurdle, as I perceive it, is the boot program and a /unix with my disk
driver routine incorporated. I looking forward to hearing from anybody
(particularly Bob Kridle)
