Naoki, I am trying to build these systems following your instructions.
I am using SimH 3.8.1 on a 64-bit Ubuntu system. I am seeing these problems:

32V

$ vax780 dboot.init 
VAX780 simulator V3.8-1
HALT instruction, PC: 00030040 (HALT)

Do you have any idea why the three kernels are crashing? I have not modified
your .ini files.

Also, can you tell me how you constructed the three boot tapes? What
files from TUHS and elsewhere did you use?

Many thanks for your help, Warren

Jason Stevens pointed out the problem. SimH needs to be compiled with
-O1 to get it to work on 64-bit Ubuntu systems.

Thanks Jason, Warren

Hi,

I could make SIMH VAX-11/780 emulator run 32V, 3BSD and 4.0BSD successfully.
You can see (rather tarse) details on my web site:
