I ran the 2.11bsd_on_rl02 without problems on bob supnik's emulator. (you need to issue a mount -a command after booting in order to mount the 4 RL02 disk and the 5 RK packs in correct places)

I also ran the 2.11_rp_unknown on bob supnik's emulator and on p11.
It worked fine except that password files were corrupted (and contained unknown passwords)
So I replaced /etc/passwd*; /etc/master.passwd; /bin/passwd and /etc/mkpasswd (which was no present) with the files of the RL distribution

Now it works very good, on p11 emulator under linux 2.2 with networking support.
