Hi,
(Sorry if this is a FAQ)
I'm trying to boot the 2.11_rp_unknown image from Boot_Images.
This is what happens:
----------------------
gibbon:/net/scharfzahn/playing/boot_images$ pdp11
PDP-11 simulator V2.3d

What am I doing wrong?

Try "set cpu 22b" instead. Using 18b tells the simulator you have
a 248kb (and 8kb for the I/O page) machine and that is not enough
for 2.11 to load and allocate all the resources it needs.

Yep -that panic message says the kernel could not allocate any
memory for the buffer cache. I am almost certain that means
there is not enough free memory left out of 248kb.

Try telling the emulator to use "22bit" mode. If that still
fails let us know. Then it will be time for "Plan B" ;)

Hmm, sorry, it still doesn't work:

Plan B is to specify the amount of memory directly. Simply saying
"set cpu 22B" tells the emulator to use 22 bit addressing - but it
does not say how much memory the system has (it's possible to have
1mb of memory even though ~4mb is possible).
Try using both "set cpu 22B" and "set cpu 2048K" - that worked here.
It may well be that only "set cpu 2048K" is actually needed - I didn't
try that by itself.

Please don't. I love reading discussions of random old bits of
hardware, and such discussions have gone on on the PUPS list for a
long time.
