Hi,
(Sorry if this is a FAQ)
I'm trying to boot the 2.11_rp_unknown image from Boot_Images.
This is what happens:

What am I doing wrong?

Hi -

I'm trying to boot the 2.11_rp_unknown image from Boot_Images.
This is what happens:
PDP-11 simulator V2.3d
sim> set cpu 18b
Try "set cpu 22b" instead. Using 18b tells the simulator you have
a 248kb (and 8kb for the I/O page) machine and that is not enough
for 2.11 to load and allocate all the resources it needs.
panic: buffers
Yep -that panic message says the kernel could not allocate any
memory for the buffer cache. I am almost certain that means
there is not enough free memory left out of 248kb.
What am I doing wrong?
Try telling the emulator to use "22bit" mode. If that still
fails let us know. Then it will be time for "Plan B" ;)

Hmm, sorry, it still doesn't work:

What is "Plan B"? :-)
Plan B is to specify the amount of memory directly. Simply saying
"set cpu 22B" tells the emulator to use 22 bit addressing - but it
does not say how much memory the system has (it's possible to have
1mb of memory even though ~4mb is possible).
Try using both "set cpu 22B" and "set cpu 2048K" - that worked here.
It may well be that only "set cpu 2048K" is actually needed - I didn't
try that by itself.

but maybe it is time to separate the mail for the two. I agree that the
first posts were interesting in the historical insight that could be
gained. But this thread has turned into a rather long hardware
discussion applicable to only a handful of people that have this
hardware.
I do not mean to be mean, but it seems moving this to
some PDP-11 list (I
guess one needs to be created) would be possible.
Please don't. I love reading discussions of random old bits of
hardware, and such discussions have gone on on the PUPS list for a
long time.
