- 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
