hi all:
currently i am reading the mit 6.828 course, and i am wondering
how to creat a rk05 image from the ground up?just like the one mentioned in
the course v6root v6src v6doc?
thanks in advance~

Hello from Gregg C Levine
One of my less then familiar with UNIX and its relatives, friend,
wants to explore a system running UNIX.
Probably BSD for the PDP-11 I should think. Since I view telnet, from
the Internet to me anyway, as a security risk can someone check this
assertion?
The last version of BSD for the PDP-11 that I am aware of, and have
seen on the site, 2.11 does not have the capability to run SSH,
because it does not have the ability to compile it from source. SSH
wasn't added to the operating systems that we use until much later. I
freely admit that part of my assertion may not be correct however.
(Regarding the ability to build SSH natively.)
For example, I am aware that the BSD base, such as FreeBSD, and
NetBSD, and OpenBSD, all have SSH included. It certainly is in Linux.
What I am planning on doing is configuring the Linux version of E11 to
run the chosen BSD pointing its Ethernet connection, to the one my
Linux box in question uses. And have a second one also running the
same release work as a gateway for the first. You'd run SSH to the
gateway, login as a "guest" and via an appropriate password, and then
telnet to the product. Of course to risk damage to the baseboard
Ethernet connection, I'd probably put a cheap card in the computer,
and run that over to my router. Pointing it of course to the
E11instance.
Warren, just for the sake of double checking my facts, are the
instructions regarding the BSD family for the PDP-11 up to date?

Guys,
Thanks for the help with my dzq11 problem - I'm glad to see that there are
still people around running PDP-11 Unix. Now that I've actually started
using my 11/73, I've run into several things that I just don't know how to
fix.
Like this one - I built a non-networking kernel (my normal /unix kernel
has DEQNA and TCP/IP support) using the NONET example that comes with
2.11BSD. No particular problems there.
Since I don't actually want to overwrite my /unix file, I can't use "make
install" to install the nonet kernel, and so I just say "cp unix /nonet" and
then chmod /nonet to set the protections. This might have been my mistake,
but I don't know any other way to do it without trashing my real /unix
kernel.
To boot the nonet kernel, at the ":" boot prompt I type "nonet". All is
well until we get up to init, and then it says
autoconfig: /unix is not the running version
init: configuration setup error
And then I'm stuck in single user mode with no devices configured. Not
especially useful.
Is my mistake in just "cp"ing the nonet kernel, or is there some
limitation on booting files other than /unix?
Thanks again,
Bob Armstrong
