Short help to run 211BSD in Bob Supnik's PDP simulator v2.2 ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take notice of the copyrights for 211BSD and the simulator. Howto run 211BSD ---------------- - Get all files from this directory. - gunzip the 211*.gz files - Create a subdirectory emu, and unpack the file pdpsim.tz in this directory. - Run patch to apply the file 'patches' to the simulator sources - Run 'make pdp11' - copy the executable 'pdp11' into your search-path - Run 'pdp11 script'. The scriptfile will initialize the simulated disks and boot from rl0. Just press return to boot the unix-kernel. Remarks ------- - Some executables still don't run. Unfortunately 'vi' is one of them. use ed instead. (for the time being). - The package is installed on 4 RL02 and 6 RK05 drives. I used a lot of symlinks to get it working. The directory /usr/ingres and the web files in /usr/dict are compressed to make it fit. - Don't run fsck on the raw (/dev/rrk?h) devices. For some reason the kernel panics on this. - The machine's hostname is 'elfje'. It is a little dutch pun: the dutch word 'elf' means 'eleven'. ('elfje' means 'little elf') - The package includes all binaries, include files and kernel sources. The generated kernel is generated from /sys/SYSTEM. Happy hacking. Franc
