[pups] 2.9BSD and Simh

[mitch wright]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know how to build a full distribution tape in Simh format? Or am I over looking something simple? I can boot and run the root RL02 image but would like install the full system. Would like to do the same for the 4.3 and the VAX Simh. 


Thanks, Mitch

Hi Mitch,

you'll find the program enblock.c at
	http://www.ba-stuttgart.de/~helbig/os/v6/
that I wrote to prepare the v6 distribution tape for SIMH.

With v7, you need to apply different block sizes like (f0, f1, ... f6 from Keith Bostic):
	enblock <f0 >dist.tap
	enblock <f1 >>dist.tap
	...
	enblock <f4 >>dist.tap
	enblock 10240 <f5 >>dist.tap
	enblock 10240 <f6 >>dist.tap
	enblock </dev/null >>dist.tap

Enblock puts an EOF tapemark at the end. The last invocation puts an EOT mark.

Have fun,

Wolfgang
