hello all,
i am a new unix user, so please excuse my ignorance.
I am trying to setup using unixV7 with simh pdp11 emulator. The guide i am
following is by Will Senn (in PDF form). I have been able to successfully
get the machine to boot with unix, and login as root. what i am having
problems with, is trying to get telnet access via dci to work. when i
follow the guide and do the following:
# cd /usr/sys/conf
# rm l.o c.o
# cp hptmconf myconfnf
# echo 4dc >> myconf
# mkconf < myconf
# make
as - -o l.o l.s
cc -c c.c
ld -o unix -X -i l.o mch.o c.o ../sys/LIB1 ../dev/LIB2
# sum unix
10314
106
# ls -l unix
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root
54122 Dec 31 19:09 unix
etc...
when i issue the mkconf < myconf command, i get a bunch of text printed
out, but with a 'root device not found'. the sum unix value is different,
as well as the size of the ls -l unix file size.. now when i try booting it
with the newly created mboot.ini file (as per the guide), i go to start up
the system with 'hp(0,0)munix' and it starts but hangs with the text 'fault
devtab'
what am I doing wrong?
regards,
Joseph Turco

Hi Joseph,
# cp hptmconf myconfnf
# echo 4dc >> myconf
looks like a typo. If you actually typed this, all that would be in
myconf would be 4dc. You need the contents of hptmconf plus 4dc.
Otherwise you'd be missing some important devices.

is my guess.

FWI: You'll probably have better luck with the KL/DL interface. And it's
already in the system, since the console is on the first one.
# cp hptmconf myconfnf
# echo 3kl >> myconf
If you are really adventurous with simh, then configure the DH11 and it's
associated DM11 interface, which from a performance standpoint work a lot
better and have all the RS-232 signals supported [which is something one of
the PiDP folks was recently trying to get going].
# echo 2dh >> myconf
# echo dhdm >> myconf

I got it working now ignoring the typo. Many thanks for the help! Now I
have a Unix timesharing "pdp-11" box.
