 From my experience, you need to have a recent release of SIMH in order to 
run 4.3BSD.  A few months ago, I managed to build "working" Quasijarus and 
Reno disk images (Quasijarus appears to work fine for me, but Reno is as 
buggy as I remember it being on real hardware).  I had to use Ultrix and 
Netbsd to do the bootstrap/install; I could not get the tape boot to work 
at all.

Here's my SIMH ini file for Quasijarus:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

set rq1 ra82

set rq2 ra82
at rq2 /dev/null
set rq3 ra82

set tq0 locked
at tq0 BSD43Q_TAPE.tap
set dz 7b
at -m dz0 4501
at xq eth0
set lpt dis
set ts dis
set rl dis
boot cpu

Here's an example boot log for Quasijarus under SIMH:
