You're welcome.

I wager you forgot to select the 'NETHER' option in your kernel
config file. Setting NETHER to 1 brings in the ARP modules.

Hmmm, - the 'netbind' process gives an error about
undefined symbols. It sounds like that was ignored.
That's the signal not to run the kernel.

That's because the netnix image was not successfully loaded - the
linker left the header set to something other than a valid a.out
header.

In your kernel config file make sure that 'NETHER' is set to 1.
You could go multi user but you'd likely see a number of errors
as programs try to use sockets to communicate.
Best to have a valid kernel+netnix image set before going multiuser.

It should. Just don't try to use ports 4,5,6, or 7 that a DZ-11\
would have.

sigh. Did you put /usr/games into your search path? The games
are not in /usr/bin or /usr/ucb with the system programs. Try putting
/usr/games in your PATH (or simply typing /usr/games/robots).
Good Luck.
