Hi,
I'm hoping to run System V Release 1 on my pdp11/45, provided I can find
a controller that'll emulate one of the few disks it supports. I've been
looking around trying to find the installation manual to no avail. The
programmers manual, user's manual and error manual are all readily
available, but nothing about install aside from some anecdotal lines from a
simh install. Would anyone have a hint on where to find it or perhaps a
real copy to lend? Happy to scan and mail back if so.
thx

Hello Jacob,
Below, please find the installation details. This is from the TUHS archive (Papenhoff
Distribution).
SVR1 is an incredibly stable port. I have an AWS cloud instance running SVR1 and the
last reboot was in May.
Random832 fixed a defect with flsbuf.c for me. This corrected an issue with Standard
Error. If you want it, let me know.
Truly,
Bill Corcoran

Hello Jacob,
Strike my earlier remarks about the source location. It is on github.

My guide was already linked, but here again from me personally:
http://a.papnet.eu/UNIX/sysV_pdp11/Installation
Hope it helps.
There's also some other guides there.

Cool, Angelo, thank you - your writeup was the only hint I'd found and I
did manage to follow along and get it to run in the emulator. Was there a
source you referred to in figuring out how to do what you did? I imagine
there's an original AT&T doc out there somewhere that'd describe the whole
install process for real iron.
thx

I think I just did mostly the same as I did for installing System III,
which comes with documentation. It's really simple, just follow the
prompts to install the base system and then extract the extra cpio
archives.
BTW, if anyone has SysVR1 for VAX, I'd like to add this to my site as
well.
