[pups] Boot_Images and the networking activated version of Simh

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine Just out of curiosity, can the boot images stored in the folders that are under that name, actually support this new version of Simh? That is the PDP-11 emulator. What would be necessary to enable that function? It looks as if one of them, is aware of the device, since I believe the image was made on a machine which has the appropriate card installed in it, but after that I'm lost. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

[pups] 2.11BSD networking on simh

by Andru Luvisi

I have gotten 2.11 installed on simh, I have it recognizing the simulated ethernet card, and everything appears correct except the packets just aren't getting in and out. The simh documentation says that the DELQA card is better than the DEQNA, but I was unable to get the DELQA (qt) driver to recognize the card. When I compiled the kernel to use the DEQNA (qe) driver and set the card up in DEQNA mode, the emulated card and its ethernet address were correctly detected. I have configured 2.11BSD with: A valid IP address on the network the host is on. The same netmask, broadcast, and gateway as the host. I am running the emulator as root. I have attached the DEQNA to the appropriate ethernet card. I can see the ethernet card go into promiscuous mode when I start the emulator. I have tested it with SANITY=ON and SANITY=OFF. The docs say you won't be able to talk between the host and the emulated machine, so my test for each configuration has been pinging the gateway, which I know responds to pings since I can ping it from the host. I have been over both the 2.11BSD docs and the simh docs several times and as far as I can tell I am doing everything correctly. I would appreciate any hints that any of you can offer.

It should look something like this (from my 7th Editon on a real PDP-11): @boot boot : rl(0,0)unix The "@" is the bootstrap prompt, and the first "boot" is what you type. The second "boot" is from the boot program itself; the colon ":" is boot's prompt. "rl(0,0)" is what you type to name the device, unit, and partition, and "unix" is the kernel name. YMMV if you have a different kernel. BTW, to shut down an old system like this, you should (as root) type # kill -1 1 to stop user processes and return to single-user mode; then type "sync" a couple of times, to make sure any disk buffers are written out, and then stop the processor. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Thanks a lot !!! That was what I was looking for ... Nevertheless, mounting the file and boot dl0: leads to the boot-prompt @ After typing unix the boot-prompt appears again - does the kernel have a different name ?

Hello Gregg, thanks for your immediate response ! I recently found the article 'Booting 7th Edition UNIX Images' on the 'vmsnet.pdp-11'-Newsgroups: <--- SNIP ---> ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/sim/sources/ ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/pub/PDP-11-sims/Supnik_2.2d/sources/ Once you get it, you have to compile the simulator. You also need to fetch the 7th Edition UNIX disk images as well; they are available from the above ftp sites in the software directory (i.e replace sources with software. Unpack the 7th Edition tarball in the same directory as the one you built the simulator. The only file you require is disks/unix_v7_rl.dsk <--- SNIP ---> What I wanted to say is that the above ftp-links are dead. You are right, I should look for the compressed tarball, but I don't know how the tarball is called and looking for 'unix_v7_rl.dsk' on google only leads to other dead links ... Any hints ?

Hello from Gregg C Levine How do you mean by that? " The links pointing to the 'unix_v7_rl.dsk' image I found are dead ... :-(" You said. How so? As I recall, that file that's in there, for unix_v7_rl.dsk" is there, it's a totally different UNIX_v7 file name, you need to call it that for the E11 product.
