I guess the newer BSD's have spoiled me. :-) ------------------ >>>boot dl0 (Program) 44Boot from rl(0,0,0) at 0174400 : : rl(0,0,0)unix Boot: bootdev=03400 bootcsr=0174400 2.11 BSD UNIX #5: Thu Jan 11 21:32:08 PST 1996 sms1 at sms.sms.iipo.gtegsc.com:/usr/src/sys/GENERIC phys mem = 3932160 avail mem = 3719616 user mem = 307200 February 29 23:09:36 init: configure system rk ? csr 177400 vector 220 skipped: No autoconfig routines. rl 0 csr 174400 vector 160 attached erase, kill ^U, intr ^C # ------------------------ And that's it!! I have commented out the RK entries in /etc/fstab as I certainly don't have any real RK disks. :-) Next, I usually do: --------------- # mount -a /dev/rl2a on /vol2: No such device or address # ------------------- And so it goes. I should probably mention again, these are the 2.11_on_rl02 images from the archive. It consists of 4 RL02's and 6 RK's and it boots and runs fine under SIMH. > > Second, do you have the entries in /dev? > Maybe I'll try running MAKEDEV just to be sure there isn't something corrupted, but being as the boot disk and vol1 both transfered and copyed to real packs OK I have no reason to suspect there is anything wrong with the data on the pack. Hmmmmm... Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I don;t think I will make this assumption. I think I will make a new vol2 pack anyway. But that still leaves why I see no RA's either. Any more suggestions? Is there anyone running a webserver on a PDP-11?? Or will I be the first when I get this going?? I was going to do it with Ultrix-11 but I think it may be easier to get up and definitely more stable on 2.11BSD. Ultrix-11 still needs more work getting it back up to real production quality. (But I plan on doing it!!) All the best. bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n. Three wolves bill at cs.scranton.edu | and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
